Why a Danish Flag?
St George was just Perseus rebranded for Britain by crusaders jealous of better quality myths elsewhere.
What is this Bacon you speak of?
Someone probably got genuinely upset.
haha
Ever heard of an English Breakfast? It features Danish Bacon as king component.
Ofc our flag will be based on Denmarks.
Some say: St George himself was probably Ragnar

You forgot about the black pudding you heathen.
That wouldn't make any more sense than using the English flag for a Pictish voice pack.
English.
Well, brought to and maintained by several generations of anglophones while gradually diverging into multiple dialects...
If American English diverged directly from the English the early pilgrims brought I doubt it would even be mutually intelligible at this point.

There are many languages in the world, English being one and American English another. Jamacia has their own version: Jamacian English, and there are many other versions of English recognised from across the world.
The common theme here being..... English.
What Americans speak is recognised a version of English. English is not recognised as a version of American
And, yes, I have read up on this subject as language interests me!

Probably...
Anyway, back to the core of the discussion...
What is that stuff the Americans call bacon anyway, and why is it nothing like real bacon?¹
I mean, it's all wrinkled up as if there's no actual pig left in it. I've seen healthier looking vegan food.

I for one would pay good money for a Welsh Covas , "Computer engage hyperdrive" "Ok , be there in a minute now"
"Saturday's Mod is kind & forgiving"
For the vast majority of English speakers there is no difference between English English and American English
Might be time for the native English speakers to learn proper international English 
Hm, that made me think, if everyone everywhere uses the same language, what is the point of giving it a distinct name instead of "language"? There will still be distinctions like " Solar" or "Achenar", just no reason to call it english anymore. In that case the new COVAS packs are for enthusiasts of ancient languages, like latin today.
The problem is that Welsh doesn't have words for things like hyperdrive etc (and the word for computer is unwieldy), so it uses a lot of borrowed words from English, often transliterated since the alphabets/pronunciations are so different. It would probably end up looking and sounding like some weird hybrid language.
