If that's what you prefer, change the settings. Saying that the majority of Americans (to use your example) should be defaulted to British spelling because of edge cases like yourself is stupid, to use your language.

And that's all my original post talks about — defaults. I never said you shouldn't be allowed to change them.

My problem is that many systems just use location — they don't let me override the defaults.
