None taken, though that's not quite fair. It does sound kind of redundant, but it's added when one needs to specify the dialect. We don't add the qualifier every time we mean "American English" because it's implicit in a context where that's what most or all of the people are speaking. I don't know, how do Canadian francophones indicate France-French, as opposed to Canada-French?
