Can I use a non-American version of SE?
As a guy from Czech Republic I was looking for a way to connect to StackExchange using a non-American version of the site (the world is a big place, no one can expect me to be able to read or write in English right now, but I can open the site just fine). However, I don't seem to find it, and the option is there for people in countries where it isn't (New Zealand, for example).
So, can I use a non-American version of the site?
A:
No.
There is no reason to expect that a user from a different country should be able to access a site which is specific to US users, and they are indeed expected to be able to read and write in English as well.
There are some pages which require that the browser is in English, but these are not that many. Any text in the body of an answer requires that English is the language of the site, while there are a lot of text-only pages where there is no need to use English, and where language choice is not enforced. There are also some pages which use English because of ease of translation, but this is not a law.
So in short, the site is intended to be a global community. You are free to read/write/speak whatever you want, as long as you use English as the language of communication.
Note that in some parts of the world English may be an alien language for you. For example, I use Czech as a native language, but when I'm writing in English, I write in a literary style, and I do not use idiomatic expressions. These aspects of language make it difficult for non-native speakers to communicate with native speakers. Therefore I feel no reason to suggest that non-native users should be able to access this site with non-American languages.
Spatial-temporal trends in breast cancer incidence in England, 1971-2009.
Patterns in the occurrence of breast cancer are not fully understood, partly because of the delays in the diagnosis of the disease. The aim of this study was to investigate trends in breast cancer incidence, mortality, and 5-year survival in England from 1971 to 2009. This was a population-based study using data on female residents aged 25-74
