That's bias. Yes it is biased, and everyone has a bias. But again, that's irrelevent to this decision. Because there are people who are perfectly fine with using British english, but support the Native English rule. And there are people like myself who prefer American english, but also support the Native English rule.

But of course there are those who use one of the english variations yet prefer to have a different one be official. And unexpectingly of course, there are those who prefer the variation of language that they use regularly and don't find it to be a big deal for others to be forced to use the same format- (That's easy to side with when you aren't the one being forced to learn the variations).

Someone pressed for time like myself, worrying about learning British english is a waste of time. Because it will not help me. Unless of course I move back to Europe, which I do not plan on doing.

Whatever the final decision is at this point, I hope the most compromising and fair decision wins. Soika, whose native language isn't even English learned British English.

While your native language is English, if a non-English speaking person can learn British English, so can you.
