To maintain some consistency in style, it is necessary to select one variant from the numerous acceptable variants of English. We use American English for our products and consider Webster's 15th Collegiate primarily authoritative. I will happily add the other resource you mentioned to the list, but I do still consider M-W the closest to an authoritative online dictionary. You may want to take a look at the style guide. It is intended to help everyone communicate more effectively and still maintain a consistent result.
