Malaysia was colonised by the British, so British English is sort of
the standard. But now American English has gain acceptance here too.
Even as early as 20 years ago, when I was in university, our English
lecturers allowed both variety of spellings. Some American spellings
have even become more widely used, e.g., 'students'. So, I was a
little bit surprised to find it flagged.
I learnt that this is not found in grammar.xml. So, I can't just
untick it in Options.
The file that provides for this is replace.txt under en-GB. For my
own purpose, I can remove the file to solve the problem. Less
tech-savvy ones may find it annoying.
Request:
Provide option to not flag this category in Options.
Move the 8 "American British phrases" rules now in grammar.xml into
replace.txt.
Also, I noticed some spelling errors in replace.txt:
* trash=rubbis (rubbish)
* trashcan=dustbin (trash can)
