Tiny differences? Yes.
So small that they're not worth bothering about? No.
OK, so there are only a few in MSG Plus. But all over the internet, thousands of pieces of software are written multilingually, but ignoring British English. The biggest culprit is Windows itself! There are versions of Windows in so many languages around the world, but we English (with a population if 60 million) are ignored, while Danes for example (with a population of approx. 5 million) have a version written 100% in their native language.
Why are 60 million British people ignored? Because we happen to be able to understand American. I don't think that's fair.
Sorry if I sound like I'm picking on MSG Plus. In fact I think it's a fabulous piece of software, and my MSN feels naked without it 
Congratulations to the authors. But I feel very strongly about this language issue, and I intend to pursue it wherever I can. MSG Plus just happens to be one piece of software where I have the opportunity to bring the matter to the attention to the writers.
Thanks for listening
Personally i understand what you mean.. and ye it must suck.. I dunno though if Patchou would like to do a british version.. that's all up to him I think..
Anyways I hope this works out for you man!
best of luck
