Well, en_US, to be technical, which would therefore classify it as a |
| 14 |
dialect of English, but I get your point. |

BTW, if you're going to claim "American" not "English", why not go the |
| 17 |
rest of the way and say "USian", since after all, "American" could be |
| 18 |
Spanish, or for that matter, French (Quebec) or Portuguese (Brazil), or |
| 19 |
getting authentic, whatever Indian language. |

Or maybe the French speak "European", but the Germans/Brits/Spanish/ |
| 22 |
Italians/Russians... do not? |
