Probably N. European English as learned in school - which covers most denizens
of the UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland  - and also 
Australia and NZ (and Commonwealth English - which is largely influenced
by British spelling - Canadian is a hybrid spelling.)

If English is not your first language, then your English will normally be
determined by where your English teacher studied.

This question came up - I think on debian-devel many years ago - and somebody
said, as I remember it: - "British/American English - it really doesn't matter 
if you'll accept bad English" - and I think that's the right attitude.

Debian does support many languages - but the level of translation and 
percentage of wiki/www.debian.org is significantly higher for some than for
others.

With every good wish, as ever,

Andy Cater
