Oh yeah, I agree!  The English football team uses it anyway, don't they?
(Along with the white X-cross, the cross of St. Andrew, on blue the Scottish
use.)  At least to indicate 'general English'.  If you want US English, UK
English, Australian, South African, etc. then use the appropriate national
flag.  Except with South Africa you got 11 official languages, so the
six-color flag, which happens to be my favorite, would have to be paired
with St. George's flag for English, or the old flag, the Dutch flag with the
three little flags in the middle, for Afrikaans...

Oh yeah, and the other day, on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, one of the
questions was about the techinical term of the study of flags, which is
'vexillology'.  The contestant missed that question.
