I have just received my confirmation for subscription to AutoCAD Architecture EE i.e. 2009. So I asked my supplier what is the 'EE' for. He says he believes it is for 'European English'.

Well, when will someone tell our rebel cousins that English IS european; they just have an 'American version'.

I love 'em really but....

AutoCAD was created over here in the States, and also is home to it's corporate headquaters. so this is the "standard" version. That's probably the reason why they do that.

yes, i know dear cousin but it does not affect my original point, and i STILL love my cousins.

[StykFacE]

lol, I know you still love us over here. :wink:

when talk about English over here, we never say 'American English' when we refer to language, because we ARE in America, and english is our primary language. We just say "English". So, naturally, if we're talking about European English, we will say 'European English' because to us, American english is the "standard" even though we all know where the English language really comes from. haha 8)
