I checked with Alexandre and it turns out en.po is not just used for 
British but also for Canadian, Australian, etc. That's why it's not 
called en_GB.po. In theory that means it should contain 'neutral 
English' but there's not really any such thing so in practice that means 
it's British English.

And I got confirmation that the en_US.po spelling issues should be fixed 
in the corresponding RC file. Also, ideally one should provide a command 
to fixup the PO files to avoid fuzzying the translations every time.

The thinking is that en.po should probably contain entries for 
everything even though that may be more work to maintain (really not 
that much compared to a real translation; imho, maybe even less as it 
would make keeping it up to date much easier). And that should fix bug 
29924.
