It's commercialization. As a business-owner I know the value of shorter words. You place an ad just about anywhere and they charge by the letter, not the word. Cutting out unneccessary letters saves the company money, savings which can then be passed on to the customer.
But, I was referring to the "British-ized" proper nouns. It doesn't seem to make much sense to change the spellings of the proper names of the races of MOO3, does it? After all, MOO3 was created in America and thus the "proper" names for the races should remain the same no matter where it goes. After all, you don't see Mexicans or Spaniards tossing o's and a's onto the ends of American proper names do you?
Just imagine: Presidente Georgeo Busho...
Let's see, in British that would be: President Geourge Boush?
Hey this is actually kinda fun...
