> a stereotypically racist American/English misspelling

I think the author of the bug was British. If you look at the user agent line at the top of the bug, the culture is "en-GB", and the phrase "who knows a bit about computers" sounds like British (or possibly Indian) English.

i used the slash to express that it was an option. not to explicitly state "american".

British English locale is sometimes used by people with anti-American political views.

Huh? Citation?

There's also the time stamp. When the bug was submitted, it was 4:31 AM in Alabama, but 10:31 AM in Greenwich.
