  “And this is why US-centrismis such a big problem in the internet. Everybody speaks Engliah, and the United States are the biggest in terms of English speakers. And through that a situation occurs where most users are seen as Americans, unless stated otherwise”

  About right?

    I would translate VS-standaardisme to US defaultism, and beyond that, you’re pretty much spot on.

  I honestly think we need to standardize language. English is the most widely spoken langauge in the world and (nearly) anyone can speak it so it’s a good contender. Most programming languages use English

  #include 
  
  int main(){
          printf("hello world!\n");
  
          return 0;
  }
  

  And honestly as much as it makes my heart cry to say this, American English is more efficient. After all it might be a one letter difference but why include “u” in color? If I remember correctly the “u” was dropped because adverts used to be payed per each character, and even today considering the usage of color tags in css it makes sense to drop the “u”. Even if it is a small difference in terms of size, it still makes writing faster and adds up
