Default development language: AE <-> BE

[Michael V. De Palatis]

I suppose the best way to choose which spellings to use would be to
look at demographics. I.e., what is the percentage of users that use
"American English spellings" versus those who use "British English
spellings." I use the quotes since BE spellings are also used in other
countries as well.

One question I have, though, is why do you think the OED is better
than any other dictionary? If it's really good, it probably has the AE
spellings anyway :)
