Vroksnak

    they speak english in us dont they?

    TheTRactoR

      so fucking what? english is spoken in australia too, then place australian flag?
      its so fucking stupid to put the flag of a random country who speaks that language.
      if any flag should be put, it must be britain flag because thats the origin.

        notice he calls it a "random" country

          this is dotabuff, if theese mentally disturbed people could see Nikola Tesla in that time, they would make the whole world believe he is the stupid person ever came to world and should be burned in a 9999 centigrade fire.

          you are right by the way, this error should be fixed.

          TheTRactoR

            thanks for using centigrade, instead of fahrenheit. because some morons use fahrenheit for temperature, feet for height, lbs for weight etc. and 1 more, "soccer" for football.

                Benao, he said random as in they could put an Australian flag or any other random country that speaks the language. SIngapore? Anything.

                He didn't even say it in a way to "flame" the US or whatever you think. RoFl @ uneducated PeOPlLE

                    americans r from colonists of england spanish and shit like that

                    so it should be british flag

                    Born

                      its silly mistake. all its needed to fix is put America (English)
                      instead English (English)
                      or change the flag.

                        Actually, an American is anyone who is from the continent "the Americas". So a Brazillian is American, a Peruvian is American, a Mexican is American, and yes, also US citizens are ALSO American. Yes, they are from colonists of England, Spain, Portugal etc. "Real" Americans has been killed hundreads of years ago by these colonist nations.

                          The translation is American english. Also, we're headquartered in the US.

                          If we add a British English we'll add a British flag.

                              Then add a (US) tag next to it to point out that you are using American english. An example @youtube : http://i.imgur.com/zAQPnrC.png

                                  It's annoying when us americans try to claim something that doesn't actually theirs. There're tons of examples of that, and they're not always small things, you know.

                                    @Tractør: You got another term for people from the United States of America? Because there isn't any, besides the ones that people just make up in response to that question.

                                          Are you mad? You seem mad. Want to talk about it?
                                          We are Americans because we live in "The United States of America." We shorten that to US or USA. No other country claims to be "American" because the only other Americas are continents and not a country. Canadians, Mexicans, Peruvians, Brazilians, Cubans, I can go on and on.
                                          We can't afford the cost of replacing everything in our country with metric equivalents (road signs, for example) so it's going to be a while until we are fully metricized. Sorry about that. We do teach the metric system in schools and the metric system is used by scientists and doctors, so where it really matters, we've got it under control, don't worry.
                                          Still, I don't believe either of those things really make you that mad. I think what really tickles your grumpybone is McDonalds, and you take out your anger on every American citizen you come across. Simple solution, don't eat it, problem solved, we can be friendly again yaaaaay!

                                              If we have multiple variants of a translation for a single language (such as both American and British english) we'll add additional flavor text to differentiate. Our english translation is American and our Portuguese translation comes primarily from contributors in Brazil, Spanish from Spain, etc hence the choice of flags.

                                                  THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT ISSUE. JASON PLS CHANGE BRAZIL FLAG TO PORTUGAL BECAUSE AS A BRAZILIAN I'M A MERE EX-COLONY AND DON'T DESERVE TO BE THE SYMBOL OF THIS AMAZING LANGUAGE HAIL PORTUGAL HAIL IMPERIALISM.

                                                    Let's have a look at;

                                                    Steam's Subscriber Agreement page (http://store.steampowered.com/subscriber_agreement/)
                                                    and
                                                    Steam's Privacy Policy Agreement page (http://store.steampowered.com/privacy_agreement/)

                                                    Look at the flags for the languages above the texts. Which flag do we see for English language? (Portugal flag for Portugese. Duh.) Hmm. Last time i checked, STEAM was headquartered in the US too. So i guess it's up to the companies which kind of flag they want to use for any language.

                                                        if you use american english, you use the american flag. british english is quite different from american english, as is australian

                                                          "Written forms of British and American English as found in newspapers and textbooks vary little in their essential features, with only occasional noticeable differences in comparable media."

                                                              Is it really that hard to understand US flag + English = American English?
                                                              Talk about being picky, geeze. They can put English US, but with the flag I'm pretty sure everyone get the point it's American English.

You see its in fact the other way around, that some us americans intentionally put us flag for english language, (im not talking about american english, im talking about english generally) like it's their own.
