I find it strange that English as used in England, and in the UK generally, is described in Pages as "British English" whereas American English is described simply as "English".
Since the English language originated in England, would it not be more appropriate to describe English English simply as "English" and American English as "American English"?
It's misleading to international users of Pages to describe American English simply as "English" because one would imagine, living as I do outside of both the UK and the US, that the standard international form of English is that spoken and used in England - the home of English - whereas English as used in Canada, Australia, and the United States, etc. is a deviation from that standard.
Does anyone understand Apple's reasoning on this issue?
