Am I the only one who dislikes the fact a lot of program installers have English (American) but no UK option. I know it's only a small thing but I don't know why they can't have just English as they will know what it means. I just feel if they are going to have an American option they should also have a UK option. I think I have ocd by the way ha.

I'm sure I will live with z's that should be s's and words missing the odd o from time to time... Not that I tend to read much in installers and just spam click 'Next'...

It does annoy me, but it saves the company time and money so I can see why they do it.

Not really all they would need to do was put English. Everyone would know what they meant.

Yeah but there are slight differences between British/American/Australian/Canadian/X English so they would have to make it suit that type.

I'm not bothered because if the program is made by an american company I would be able to live with a few differently spelled but essentially the same words. It's like going to spain and moaning 'cause the waiter cant speak english

Not overly bothered. I've not come across a US English option on an installer recently, if for years at all :/

Can't say it annoys me but the Steam one does due to the flag being next to it.

But by just putting English then its an english that all will roughly understand. By putting US english and not giving a UK option then it means there could be words we won't understand so removing the US bit wouldn't cause any confusion.
