Actually even the locales that make it "organization" and
"neighborhood" have "advertise" (and, elsewhere in the original
version, "exercising"). Which illustrates the problems that arise
when people skilled in one system try to use the other; better to
let people who have a strong background in/attachment to either
en_US or en_GB stick to using the one they know.
However, when we're helping people without such a background to fix
up their English, the obvious standard to go for is localization.
