"Everything uses American English"? Yeah, no. There's plenty of technical stuff on the web that uses British English.

There's very little code on the internet that uses British English. I'm Australian, and even when I write software that will only be used by other Australians, I still use American English so I don't have to think about it.

Spelling in documentation is much less important.

Do you have any examples to share? All the languages I've used have been american english, which is a sensible decision.
