Thanks for pointing out how clueless you are. Maybe if we want to be really technical you could say programming languages are comprised of and documented in English. In javascript or java it's gonna be .color not .colour for instance. Still using that meaning of "written in" is like saying "English is written in the thoughts, logic, objects and emotions associated with each word in English" which is somewhat beside the point. Also most programming languages are written in C and not machine code directly, although that doesn't really have much affect on American vs British English. Again what's probably more important is the fact that apps, websites, books etc are more likely to be in American English.

No I'm not. I've only really been to America and a bit of Canada. I really don't like a lot of things about America and there's no way I'd wanna live there but that doesn't really affect the things I said.

I don't want to argue this one all I can say is that if you want documentation in another language get that language version of it, such as a French release of Java.

en-gb vs en-us ? None the less I would have to agree that many languages were made in America, however, American's never invented computers. Although yes, there was a lot of major development of the PC in America, given. However, this is like saying the internet is British because of Sir Tim Berners-Lee cause he invented the world wide web?

So all them American websites people visit are really British culture and technology
