English is now American?

[doctormo]

During the loading of Regnum Online it asks you what your language is at the very top; I'm not one to point out trivial errors but English is really from England, not from America. So either a St George or a Union Jack should be used, not the star spangled banner.

Do other people believe that English is now American too?

i think youre making way too big of a deal out of this. argument = zzzzz

Being from a commonwealth country I always refer to UK English. However, American English is accepted as a dialect and more often than not it's the one used in games, websites, etc. So I reckon there's no problem with the American flag on the launcher as the game does use American English.

I agree with superdaveninja.

I may be being thick but where does it actually say "English" ? They've used the flags of Argentina, the US, Brazil, and Germany, so it looks like they are just (sensibly) representing each language with the flag of the country they get the most users from.

No...I think you're missing the point...

I'm missing the point of your post too. Both USA and England are well known as english speaking countries. It's the same language, just used with a different accent and a couple of the words are different.
