Make sure that your project has an en.lproj (or English.lproj, but 
en.lproj is recommended).  Place into it a copy of each localized item 
in a version suitable for those who express a preference for English, 
but not a preference for US vs British English.  Then you may 
optionally create language variant .lprojs, for example en_GB.lproj or 
en_US.lproj, and place items in there that will override the generic 
versions in en.lproj.  The generic en.lproj should have a copy of each 
item, but the specific en_*.lprojs need not--only those items that 
need overriding need to be there.
