British or American English?

As I'm neither British nor American, I can write in either English. I do see that most of my traffic is from America, but I believe that most of the world speaks British English. What would be better to write in for a tech site: http://what-is-what.com

Do Google or the other search engines prefer either English?

Thanks in advance.

I think that better to choose language of your visitors - american English.

Thanks.

Many places use UK English, many places use US English. As stated, best to let them choose, now if only UK English was used in HTML syntax I could set any colour I want...not to mention I could centre align anything.

Wouldn't it be great if programming was language independent?

You could define your own dtd in XHTML for that purpose!

There's a Hebrew translation of php called HPL. It's rather frustrating writing Right to Left documents with a Left to Right programing lanugage, so HPL is supposed to help here. I've never used it, but I understand that this:


becomes this:

I think your find there is "International English" which is the original English and there is "US English" depend on what your site is for but I would always say use English not a veriation of english

I think that the British English is the original English, but not in it's present form.

Suggesting that one use English, but not a variation of English, is like suggesting that one have hair, but not any colour of hair.

Languages are not only for communication, they also represent a culture, we need to adopt the cross culture communication ability in collaboration with different culture.

IMO you should focus on what your customers prefer as you say a lot of traffic is from US. It should be easily understandable after reading.

Well, Differences between the two include pronunciation, grammar, lexis, spelling, punctuation, idioms etc, more on this; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_differences

As far as google is concerned obviously they might be giving more preferences for American as they are themselve American.
