Just be glad you aren't in south america or china. How many different inidiginous chinese and spanish dialects are there? Though i don't know enough about programming to know whether english is the international programming language standard.
I think the differences are due to the general truth that language evolves regionally. While we all might start with the same words and definitions their meanings change through time based on their regional everyday usage and mutations.
It's kind of like the metric system vs. inches/feet/miles/gallons. Personally, i think the metric system makes more sense intuitively and that we should eliminate the american units.
