After doing a lot of XWindows programming, HTML and other annoying
things, I am quite fluent in americani"z"ation, but definitely
hate it  :)

I am, however, not so fond of programme.  It just sounds too...
snobby.

Perhaps this is just me, but I get the feeling that we need more
than just en_GB.  I might even suggest en_AU is required to keep
the Australian audience happy.  (in fact, I think I just did  :)

Would it be at all possible to have a number of English
translations, ranging from the traditional to the z-ified?  I'd
personally love to be able to switch to a thee-ified Shakespearean
internationalisation  :)
