<p dir="auto">That’s a reasonable request, considering the lack of an en-CA, en-NZ, en-IN, etc. so far. However, I don’t know that it’s possible to totally avoid dialectal terminology. Some terms like <em>chemist</em> versus <em>drugstore</em> will be confusing and surprising to someone either way. The most we can do is to avoid gratuitously regional turns of phrase, especially legal terms that are tied to a particular jurisdiction regardless of the dialect spoken.</p>
<p dir="auto">If there were some other place to put an American English localization, we could do whatever we want with the main English one, but unfortunately that isn’t the current situation.</p>
