Jun 5, 2013 6:13 AM in response to Anon Mby rkaufmann87,You will see subtle differences, however when you press things like the $ on a US Keyboard where the language has been changed to UK English you will see the £ instead.

Jun 5, 2013 6:13 AM in response to rkaufmann87by Anon M,Haha I think you read something wrong, I don't know.
Also: it has nothing to do with keyboards, but with grammar correction. The keyboard input list is something else again

Jun 5, 2013 6:09 AM in response to rkaufmann87by RáNdÓm GéÉzÁ,American and British English differ somewhat by way of spelling.
Eg. Colour (UK) Color (US)
As for plain old English... ??? Maybe it's a combination of the two.

Jun 5, 2013 6:13 AM in response to RáNdÓm GéÉzÁby Anon M,@ RáNdÓm GéÉzÁ:Haha yes I know that they differ, but I'm wondering what "English" is. Like you said, perhaps a combination of both, but it would be interesting to know

Jun 5, 2013 6:33 AM in response to Anon Mby BobTheFisherman,British English, Canadian English, and American English are each a little different. I did not specifically look at the selection you are describing but I assume that if you want American English you select it. If you want British English you select it. If you are Canadian or some other English speaking nationality then you would select English.
But this is only an assumption on my part because as I said I did not check out your selection options and their differences.

Jun 5, 2013 7:04 AM in response to Anon Mby Csound1,US English abandons the letter U and any slightly complex spelling.
Canadian English puts an 'ey' at the end of every sentence. (and rhymes house with moose)
British English changes the rules on you in ways unexpected, thus weeding out foreigners.

Jun 5, 2013 7:10 AM in response to Anon Mby Ralph Landry1,The biggest difference is in the spell cheker, i.e., dictionary...programme/program, colour/color, organise/organize, and so on.

Jun 5, 2013 7:13 AM in response to Ralph Landry1by Anon M,Haha it's crazy how really nobody until now read the question. Yes, I know the differences between British, Canadian, Australian etc. English.
I was wondering what "English" all alone is. Without anything in front of it. Because there's such an option as well. Just "English". Not British English, not Canadian English... just "English" -- that was the question

Jun 5, 2013 7:18 AM in response to Anon Mby Csound1,What is the difference between British English, English, Us English .....
That was your question.
British English? Britain and England are not the same thing.
Be specific, what is it you want to know about English (there is only one English language, all the rest are local Patois) or in the case of Louisiana, Creoles.

Jun 5, 2013 7:25 AM in response to Anon Mby Ralph Landry1,English is by default US English...like the selections in iOS devices, you have English, English (Australia), English (Canada), English (UK). By default if you select English you get US English, keyboard and dictionary.

Jun 5, 2013 7:31 AM in response to Ralph Landry1by Anon M,Nope, US English would be "US English", and not "English". Also it wouldn't make sense that "English" is "US English", if at all "English" would be "British English", which isn't the case either actually since there is "British English". So I am wondering if it's a mix of all of them, or if there's actually a duplicate in this list. (which would be very weird)
@Csoun1: The time you've spent writing this you could have read the first post

Jun 5, 2013 7:37 AM in response to Anon Mby Csound1,The first post lacks clarity. In any variant of English.
