It's only wishful thinking. And how is that different to Americans thinking that American English is the only language of the computing world? Pull your head out of your arse (not your ass, that's a donkey) and take a good look around. The world is much more than 50 states. Get an atlas, have a look at how small the US is compared with the rest of the world. Familiarise yourself with some geography if you're one of the 14 percent or so who can't point at the US on a world map.[1] > Therefore, without emotion and with a pragmatic hand to guide me, I > feel that English should be an alias for en_US. s/without emotion/with typical American patriotism/ s/pragmatic/dogmatic/ So was your message supposed to be serious, or are you just trolling?
