Well, en_US, to be technical, which would therefore classify it as a 
dialect of English, but I get your point.

BTW, if you're going to claim "American" not "English", why not go the 
rest of the way and say "USian", since after all, "American" could be 
Spanish, or for that matter, French (Quebec) or Portuguese (Brazil), or 
getting authentic, whatever Indian language.

Or maybe the French speak "European", but the Germans/Brits/Spanish/
Italians/Russians...  do not?
