PC. The Language Toolbar swears I'm in English (US), but my at and hash keys say otherwise!
[eta: It's not a huge deal because I'm leaving in 5 minutes, but I really hope it fixes itself by tomorrow.]

That's what it wants you to do. You need to use something that'll make the UK English recoil in horror, like peanut butter or ice cold beer. Once it's suitably weakened you should be able to dispatch it with ease.
