#2Not related to the content, but as a port of "spice" -- being from New Mexico, we would usually refer to a spicy pepper as (eg green) "chile," or a chunky dish with beans and meat as (eg Texas) "chili." Looks like the AP Stylebook agrees, though Webster's makes it seem less clear, so you can probably get away with it either way.

If it has beans it isn’t Texas chili…

Further abroad (Australia), Chile is a country and chili is the hot pepper, so I suspect the (English) language here is highly regional.
Eg I’ve even lived in North American and never come across that spelling for the pepper.

The "chile" spelling is from Spanish, particularly Mexican and Central American Spanish. The word is derived from Nahuatl (Aztec).
That said, I'm in northern US and I would spell the pepper "chili"

#7I love this, the overhead of rayon always made it hard to gauge whether to use it for small operations (or could be small operations). This seems to solve that, at least for relatively short workloads

Yeah, I've lived in the northeast US my whole life and have never seen "Chile" used for anything but the country before; the pepper and the food are both spelled "chili" in my experience. That being said, pronouncing the country's name as a homophone of "chili" is a bit of an anglicism too, since from what I remember of Spanish in high school, the more accurate pronunciation would be something like "chee-lay" rather than "chill-ee". I wouldn't be shocked if both the spelling "chili" and the pronunciation of it had roots in the name of the country and in English usage drifted over time (sort of like the pronunciation of the name of the city "Amarillo" in Texas).

Wikipedia says "Chili peppers, also spelled chile or chilli"
