General / Off-Topic Why The British Flag? Covas Menu

[Deaf Space]

In the menu where you pick your Covas Assistant , it has a selection of languages to chose, Depending on what language it has a flag to represent it , and yet the English selection has the British flag and not an American one, America is the main English speaker , in Britain they speak British , this is a lazy oversite

Well firstly the voice is British hence the flag, it aint a septic.

Secondly the "English" should give you a clue, the flag of the nation that includes England.

The Union Flag includes amongst others the Flag of St George (Red Cross on White Background) so it is the correct flag for the Covas voice of a Brit

Maybe they should put an American flag next to Jefferson? He clearly speaks American.

After googling a bit, I have to present my evidence that the german flag has to be put next to all english speaking COVAS.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_English leading to

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language

to directly quote: "english is a west germanic language", so please FD put all german flags to the english speaking COVAS.

Or in other words (as a german): all your speakbase are belong to us

I rest my case.

OK when the world officially describes the english language as american, you can have the star spangled banner next to English voices, until then it will be either the Flag of St George (English national flag) or Union Flag (flag of the United Kingdom)

LOL.. Sorry but this really made me smile... (I've had nothing but connection issues for the last hour).. English is my native language.. I'm British btw... How you can say that "America is the main English speaker" is just wrong .. They speak American English.. They spell colour without the "u".. and call a lift an elevator.. You may just as well say that Canadians speak proper French and the people who are native's of France don't... Vive 'la difference.. Thanks anyway.. I'm still smiling... Fly safe.. Long life, and Stable connections please Fdev...

What's a 'greif'?

 

[WR3ND]

What about the Canadians, eh?

Won't somebody think of the poutine?

As an American, satire of our "friends" to the north is compulsory, though I would like to still be on speaking terms when WW III breaks out.

What's a 'greif'?

A legendary creature with the body of a lion, wings of an eagle and eagles talons as forefeet

There are more English speakers in China than the rest of the world put together, so by that token the flag should actually be Chinese.

Never mind. I seem to have misplaced the cheese.

..and while we're at it, just as relevant to the game, the amount of bicycles in Beijing..
