And there's also Canadian English. I've written in both Canadian English and
Australian English, and to tell you the truth, I don't remember all the
exact differences apart from the obvious ones. I just know than Canadian
English and Australian English have a lot more in common with British
English than American English, and therefore I say that I prefer "British
English". I'm not going to say "I prefer to use Australian English, British
English, and Canadian English", when quite clearly, the style I prefer to
use has a lot to do with British English than American English (although it
would be cool to say that I use "ABC-English").
