Due to OWOT having an international user base, this Wiki prefers no major national variety of the language over any other. These varieties (e.g. [[Wikipedia:American English|U.S. English], [[Wikipedia:British English|British English]]) differ in vocabulary (''soccer'' vs. ''football''), spelling (''center'' vs. ''centre''), and occasionally grammar.
