Probably N. European English as learned in school - which covers most denizens
of the UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland - and also
Australia and NZ (and Commonwealth English - which is largely influenced
by British spelling - Canadian is a hybrid spelling.)
If English is not your first language, then your English will normally be
determined by where your English teacher studied.
This question came up - I think on debian-devel many years ago - and somebody
said, as I remember it: - "British/American English - it really doesn't matter
if you'll accept bad English" - and I think that's the right attitude.
Debian does support many languages - but the level of translation and
percentage of wiki/www.debian.org is significantly higher for some than for
others.
With every good wish, as ever,
