The languages are different but with considerable overlap (linguistic
differences rarely affect careful technical writing such as should be
used here).  I think the same may be true in regard to the German of
Germany, Switzerland, and Austria; and the French of France and Belgium.
It is certainly true in regard to the Latin of Caesar and of Euler.

But you have mis-parsed what I wrote, as has the local OAF.  There is an
implicit "or not;" after "country".  There are therefore two questions;
English-speaking or other, and USA or other.  The latter is because of
the nature of the USA & its people; and especially their weirdness in
respect of writing date and time.
