I remember a pull-down with "English" and a UK flag and "English (simplified)" with a US one.

How is “English - US” bad in the context of language and currency? There could also be “English - UK” if the list was expanded in the future.

While I agree that “Español - MX” sounds redundant compared to “Castellano - ES,” you gotta realize there are potentially other languages in those countries.

Can you explain how either of these is bad?
