Ditto here. Now it's not unusual to have to learn new vocabulary, but
"heed" is obscure and makes an API difficult to understand for me.
Of course, I sympathize with native English speakers who are annoyed
by the prevalence of Globish over real English. That said, Python
already mandates American English instead of British English.
