It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out British terms if you learned American English and vice versa, so asking "what kind of English is more important" is a bit like asking "what kind of English accent is more important." The only problem I've ever encountered is that it was a pain in the ass to search for graph-coloring/graph-colouring papers (the ACM has a lousy search engine).<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures

I'm pretty sure American English is the variant taught in Japan. Is that right?If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
