I’m not “trying” anything. I’ve encountered a lot of websites with Choose Your Language dropdowns where English is represented by Old Glory and not the Union Jack.
Fair enough — many websites do use the US flag as shorthand for English, even though it is technically inaccurate. My point was only that “Brazilian” is not the name of a language: Brazil speaks Portuguese, just as the US speaks English.
“Brazilian” isn’t a language, just like “American” isn’t a language. Brazil speaks Portuguese, and the US speaks English. Nice try, though.
