I’m sorry.
But the Scottish want to claim something English as theirs? When did that start?
I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted either.
To answer your question it’s neither and both. I can appreciate it might seem pedantic from an American point of view, but not from ours. It’s our language, created here and named after us, it doesn’t require the British/European prefix. It is simply English.
American, Canadian and Australian English should have suffixes as simplified variations of the default.
E is English. A is American.

Sorry, did you not see the Teams notifications? Most of the engineers have been reassigned for the remainder of the project.
The product owner says it’s on the screen so it’s front ends responsibility.
Let’s have an in person meeting on Friday about reallocating part of your personal training budget to get you on a course. Face-to-face would be better, don’t you think?
QA says it was in the design spec, so back to Jira with you.
Don’t say that. It’ll give them an excuse to write yet another one.
Is this what passes for humour amongst front-end devs? Explains a lot :)






Sounds more like protection money.
