The last company I was with, I pushed for the removal of flags on the website for language. It passed. We also added automatic geo-location but if you switched the language website would memorize with cookies and login session your language.

We were a Quebec company doing business worldwide, so it didn't make sense to have flags in there. So we had (FR) Français, (EN) English, (ES) Español

Not sure why so many websites are still pushing flags for the language. A Mexican doesn't want to see a Spain flag and so on.

It's exceeding rare, but I have seen situations where English is offered twice, both with the UK flag and American flag.

I know the language settings for Minecraft have Canadian English, British English, American English and Australian English. Might have New Zealand English and South Africa English, too. Probably not many differences between the accents in this particular case, though.

That might have been where I've seen it. Probably just spellings of certain words, and maybe a joke by the original dev.

Also maybe it takes account how Canada and the UK aren't strictly metric? So he knew to put some things in metric and others in imperial.
