I use en-CA because it makes the most sense for me.
- I want spellcheckers to default to American (analyze vs analyse, etc.) because that's the default in computer science. This, despite en-IN using British conventions.
- Metric units
- A4, etc. paper sizes are the default in India
- Acceptable date format (anything but MM/DD/YY will do)
- I definitely don't want my file explorer showing sizes in lakhs and crores (the commas in Indian numbers) so en-IN is out.
I speak Kannada, but I don't think anyone who can speak English here will confuse Canada for Kannada, whether they are Kannadigas or not.
