although quite annoyingly it isnt available as english british.

Shouldn't the differentiator be "English (North American)" ? Leave standard English as belonging to the Brits, thanks.

File a bug for that then. Seriously, that's one of the major benefits of open source software: you can file a bug (or request for enhancement) and have the developers take it seriously. The Firefox crew are usually very responsive on bug reports: I've filed a few and have always had a first reply within 48 hours. That's one of the main reasons I use Firefox (that and useful extensions like AdBlock, WebDeveloper, etc): if I'm not happy with some of the features, I can report it to the developers and discuss it with them.

Surely you mean "isn't available as English British" </Pedant>

+1 for English (North American)

not really a bug, its called English....seriously...and on that note...

With the implementation of the Eurodollar underway in Europe these last few years, the European Union is trying to find new ways to standardize practices in Europe.

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU rather than German which was the other possibility.

Conversion to European English

As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five year phase-in plan that would be known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of the "k". This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have 1 less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20% shorter.

Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e"s in the language is disgraseful, and they should go away.

Jesus what are the mods on? That stupid "European English" thing has been around for at least 10 years.

As for English language versions, I totally second "US English" and ("International") English as language options. Us colonials spell proper too.

So ultimately, the Europe will end up speaking LOLCat?

English English is spoken by a minority of English speakers - a larger number speak US English. Besides, Mozilla's based over here.

We're always left out and have to use the yankee's version. Boo.
