I don't think that's true. What I've read suggests that 17th century English was closest to a modern Southern accent, actually. -

When you own Microsoft and co. and thus produce all the software, you can fill it with as many Brit things as you like. We'd be powerless to stop you then, just like you're currently powerless to stop us.
Alternatively, you could earn our favor by doing something cool like sending the SAS on a night raid into Paris, where they would sneak up on Chirac and pull his pants down during an important speech. Then dump an extremely rare hunk of roast beef on his head and run off snickering. Be sure to take pictures too. You'd have to work out the details with our people, but I think that would go a long way towards making it worth our programming time.Comment

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

My only problem with American English is the word "winningest". Oh, and the strange use of "already".
I have no problem with software suppliers keeping costs down by not having a plethora of english dialects in installers.Comment
