Minor nit, but I always appreciate receiving these -- in US English as well as British I believe it's always written "bury the lede"

I don't think that's the case. Lede is at best an alternative spelling, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_paragraph#Spelling

and FWIW, I'm British and I've never seen it spelt lede outside of this forum. I guess it's an American thing, and even then, it's pretty wrong.

FWIW, I'm British and I've only ever seen it spelt 'lead' by Americans on this forum :)

I'm British and I'd spell it as lede, that's how I've predominantly seen it spelt also.

So as clear as mud then!
