While they are "kissing cousins", there are strong vocabulary and grammar
differences, enough, IMHO, to warrant a different label. Again, my preference
would be that default be set to all languages instead of American English
only...

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.
