Yes, sorry about that; as I mentioned privately, I got the wrong spelling by
mistakenly lifting it from a web page about someone else who I thought was you
but who spells their name with different accents.

Yes, the glibc source code is in English so its text should use spelling
preferred for an English-language audience. Although the audience can't grok
names written in Cyrillic, Greek, Kanji, etc., it can grok Latin letters with
accents.
