Description Matt 2011-12-09 02:12:12 UTC 
I go to chose my language and get the options "en - English" or "en-GB British English"

It should be:
en - English(British English)
en - US English

As Wikipedia itself says: "English is a West Germanic language that arose in the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of England"
Comment 1 Patrick Reilly 2011-12-09 02:22:28 UTC 
 en-GB is the language code for British English , as defined by ISO standards (see ISO 639-1 and ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) and Internet standards (see IETF language tag).
Comment 2 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2011-12-09 02:28:08 UTC 
I think the original reporter is more complaining that "en" is called generic english instead of US english with code en-US (which our translation for "en" essentially is).

As an aside, there was a thread on commons recently about something related - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page#View_Wikimedia_Commons_in_British_English


Changing component to i18n. Not quite right, but this really isn't a user pref issue.
