I don't like the fact that British and American English are treated as different languages, but there are differences nevertheless. In the interest of truth in advertizing I think the difference should be indicated. I also think it might not be a bad idea to just lump British and American English together as English, but as long as they are labeled differently I wouldn't want a book in British English falsely represented as in American English.

Are we to continue to indicate when a book's English is UK or, since some books so indicated don't get found when searched for (unless a person remembers to change the language in the search to Any), or should we just designate it as U.S., which seems to be the default
