I object to that (not you, Neil, some dev or other). I live in England; I 
speak English. People who live in America speak their own version of it, 
adapted from the original. The list should be:

linguas_en_AU - English locale for Australia
linguas_en_CA - English locale for Canada
linguas_en_GB - English locale
linguas_en_US - English locale for USA
