🇬🇧 English (Traditional)
🇺🇸 English (Simplified)

Portuguese people clicking on the Brazilian flag to see something in Portuguese 💀

It's my right as an American to not have extra 'U's in my words and you're infringing on it!

As opposed to everyone else when they have to click the US flag to get English language options

A tourist wanted some directions so he asked: "Sorry, do you speak American.'

My buddy who can be a purist: "I understand American but I speak English."

Traditional English vs Simplified English. I won't tell you which is which.

One of these days Trump is gonna sue the UK for speaking the American language

Scottish people having to click on a British flag knowing it will display English (there is a perfectly good flag for England that people refuse to use 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿)

Brit here it's our laugauge don't like it? Get your own instead of spelling ours wrong

When I was visiting Paris, a tour bus we got on had a audio guide, the languages were all labeled with national flags.

English -> UK flag French -> flag of France Spanish -> Flag of Spain Portuguese -> Flag of Brazil

Even in Europe Portugal plays second fiddle for it's own language

As an Aussie it really grinds my gears that office defaults to American spelling. And even after I change the dictionary to Australian or UK english it still continues to insert 'z' into words. It's colonise, not colonize!

it's worse when it's an American flag because I'm always looking for the British one

We alsou have to start adding U's in places that nourmally only have O's.

I replaced the US flag with a UK one on my website for this reason x)

I don't like using country flags for languages. For one thing, not every language has a country of its own -- there are 700+ languages in use today, but <200 countries. Many languages don't even have any obvious insignia to represent them at all.

If you're making a piece of software and you want it ported to many languages, just use text to represent the language.

The way 'herbs' or 'erbs' (as some pronounce it) drives me absolutely nuts.

Also, 'mirror' where it sounds like 'meer' drives me nuts.

I definitely prefer British English. Love reading the old Agatha Christie books. E.g. "My word!" The colonel ejaculated, "I do believe that she's dead!"

The whole concept of multilingual websites is foreign to Americans. There is only one language in their mind.

Why use many word when few word do.
