Some games offer American English and British English. Canadian English is very rare, especially since it has fewer firm conventions than either American or British English. In Canada, "Colour" and "Neighbour" are firmly considered to be the only acceptable spellings. However, it is considered acceptable to use either "curb" or "kerb", "tire" or "tyre", "traveled" or "travelled".
On the matter of the Union Jack - Why do they tack this into games when CLEARLY the spoken dialogue is American English? The illogicalness of it makes me fffffffffffff.TheSchizoid said:
I totally know what you mean. The only game I've ever played that showed a UK flag instead of a US one was a French game. Go figure!
There are games that give you the option between English (US) and English (UK), for those of us who take the lift up to their flats.
What's really puzzling is games (well, software) that give tell you to select an option and the only option is English.

It says United States because it uses a US version of English, as in, you nkow those words that English, Americans and Australians have 3 different spellings for (damn I fotget any) well they use the American spelling.
You are technically correct, but the rest of the worlds won't recognise this. England, Scotland, Wales, and N. Ireland are all countries. But we are united in one kingdom, see? According to wikipedia the official description of the U.K is a sovereign state, with four constituent countries.Kurokami said:
I'm actually quite surprised that there are people who believe England is a state, i doubt this is something all Americans believe but to clear up any confusion i figured i'd break it down here;
England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales are all countries, they are capable of running separately as such, however for strength the united in various ways over the years forming different groupings as outlined
Great Britain: this is the collective name for the main island on which England, Scotland & Wales can be found, it does not include outlying islands belonging to those countries
United Kingdom: this refers to Great Britain + Northern Ireland (its actual name is "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland")
The United Kingdom & Islands: this is the UK plus the Isle of Mann, Guernsey & Jersey (these islands all have their own laws & taxes etc which function entirely independently of UK law) these islands count as British possessions rather than colonies which makes their citizens British
there are others including the Commonwealth which involves colonies (including Canada if i'm correct), The British Isles, The Uk & Colonies (new name for what was the British Empire) and i'm sure there's more but they get way to complicated

so anyway. . . . . ponies are fun
