I wasn't sure where to ask this question so I am sorry if it is the wrong place. I just wondered why the American flag was used for English as I am not American or from the Phillipines.

Thank you for your time.

You mean north Americans... people like me dont like north americans call themselves Americans... And to answer the question is because it is something standardized in a lot of games.

Re : Nationality

I am not American, I am English. English flag please.

Why would I want to be associated with a country that voted Bush Jnr in....twice?

North American just doesn't roll off the tongue as well as American.  And in all fairness, the common conception of an 'American' is in fact a North American.

And I think he meant the actual reason why the American flag was chosen over, say, the UK flag, or even the half American-half UK flag (Which is used much more often.)
