You go on a website and it asks what language you want to view it in, you see this:



Now, forgive if I'm wrong but there is no American language, English is what I speak and does America so why the US flag? They speak French in parts of Canada so shouldn't the French flag be changed to the Canadian one? They speak Spanish (although slightly different Latin Spanish) in Mexico so change the Spanish one to the Mexican flag.

This happens when installing games too and is not correct.

I also love when websites/games/programs have both "English" and "English (UK)". Do they really need both? Also you'd think coming second it would be "English" and "English (US)".

They're totally different. Totally.

See, the error there is that there should only be one language flag:

Yes, it is ridiculous, and wrong.

I for one shall never accept "BURGLARIZED" as a legitimate English word. It's not. Fortunately, the vast majority of Euro types are educated in the true ways of British English. Which is, might I add, the 'One True way.'

We grew tired of the tyranny of pre-installation screens and finally took matters into our own hands. No verbalization without representation!!! charge

I'd prefer Australian flag. It's a lot more cool and you can actually count the stars on it!

I've seen some use the Union Jack instead of the stars and stripes, as it should be.
