By the way, could we kinda stop using "Br" or "BrE" or "British
English"
to refer to variants of English that aren't American? There's a big,
wonderful, English-speaking world out there that aren't American, and we
aren't British, either.
And there's also Canadian English. I've written in both Canadian English and
Australian English, and to tell you the truth, I don't remember all the
exact differences apart from the obvious ones. I just know than Canadian
English and Australian English have a lot more in common with British
English than American English, and therefore I say that I prefer "British
English". I'm not going to say "I prefer to use Australian English, British
English, and Canadian English", when quite clearly, the style I prefer to
use has a lot to do with British English than American English (although it
would be cool to say that I use "ABC-English").
