LOL, I think the only fix to this is to use the royal family British English, the very formal version that is tough in schools around the world and in reality only 4% of English speaking people use it ;) if anyone is ESL they will get it

I'm a U.S citizen, born and raised here, and I have no qualms with the British English spelling used in this game or any other. I understand that I am playing a game developed by New Zealanders and hence they use their British English spelling.
I don't want, or expect to log into POE's American server and have the NPC's speak with a Southern U.S drawl or slang. I don't want Nessa to say "Y'all wanna head on over yonder and fetch me that thar medicine box from that awnry old varmint Hailrake"

That's just a difference between American English and British English. Since the game is made in New Zealand, there are lots of these. On your character sheet, for example, you have a "defence" tab.
I understand completely however, if I am playing on an American server I expect to see American grammar. It is completely inappropriate to have grammar implemented that is not considered correct by American standards.
If other developers manage to get the grammar correct in their games why not this one. What makes this game undeserving of such corrections? Absolutely nothing; GGG needs to fix these minor errors.
While GGG may not see them as errors, anyone who has respect for the English language will find this offensive.
I selected an American server therefore I expect American English... not British.
Oh my, oh my.
I could really have some fun with this.
But I'll not. I'll just point out that this forum is not an American forum, in fact it is a NZ forum, using British English, so by all means put your ideals to work and police your fellow citizens for us (including yourself).
Thanks.
Casually casual.
