Thanks Corey, I learnt something new today: some people use 
"International English" to refer to British English.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_English#Non-U.S._English>

However, US English is used by more people than British English, and 
undoubtedly by far more of the people who use Ubuntu.

(Disclaimer: I live in a country that uses British English, but use 
mostly American spellings myself.)
