But my system language is English. Closest english speaking country is 2000+ km away.

And you know what? I didn't pay so much attention to what English I'm selecting so part of my devices are set to UK english and part to US english. It's all English to me, just don't translate my File menu!



Only thing is when suddenly “colour” and “centre” pops up in the menu that makes you double check what is actually meant


I tend to write british spelling, possibly because that's how they taught me in school. But I never notice the difference when reading.

I have to run into strong britishisms* like lad, tad, cuppa to remember there are differences across the pond.

* strong britishisms to me the non native speaker, at least.
