No, because American isn't a language, English is. It's then further separated into dialects, such as American English and British English. Just saying "English" makes it sound like you're not just talking about dialects, which this person is.
Didn't say it was language. Thought the "spelling" was implied since the op is about spelling.
I've never seen it referred to this way before. I've always seen it called the "British" or "British English" spelling of something.
I not a english major or anything. That might be correct. Iv just heard or seen it called the English spelling versus the American spelling. And yea I see some room for confusion there.
