      Love how Steam includes English (Simplified) as a language choice with the American flag next to it.

          You know I was reasonably sure it did that, but now I’m questioning it myself. I’m not going to spin up a Windows VM so I’ll just take this on the chin and apologise for potential misinformation.

            dug out a youtube video from 5 months ago that showed how to install steam in windows 11; it has no flags and only labels for the Language Setting. But that screenshot also came from Windows 7 or even Vista, so maybe they actually did that back then? I dunno. But its on knowyourmeme.

    You guys added the U to color way after you made it be “color” to begin with. Aluminum is the original British spelling. Fahrenheit isn’t American it’s British. Need we go on?

          It’s not that, it’s just that the accents in Britain and America diverged, with some of the most major changes being English becoming non-rhotic in a lot of England (this also carried over to America in some New England accents and AAVE)

          There’s nothing inherently “posh” about Southern English accents, it’s just that Americans often perceive Brits as posh for historical reasons
