All you really said was that, these non-native english speakers were taught British English instead of American English. First of all, they chose to learn english. Second of all, I assume they live in Europe and are therefore more likely to actually use British English.

For those of you who FIRST learned British English, I'm sure you guys would find it annoying if you were told that you had to write everything only in American English. That is how I feel, except the other way around. I really shouldn't have to give justification as to why I don't have time to learn all of the British English ways of writing. In fact, my micronation isn't even located in Europe, so it doesn't even make sense to promote my nation on the microwiki database using a form of English I don't even use. --- DaGizza made a reply earlier that addressed this issue, and I agree with him.

I just don't understand why so many people are opposed to compromising on this issue. Yeah. British English only and American English only policies are byist and unfair. Native is the only fair anwser that satifies everyone! Why would it be unfair for you? You don't even edit any articles.

It's unfair for British people to have to learn American English, and it's unfair to Americans to have to learn British English!
