I dont remember the USA flag being on the top of my screen next to the battery indicator. How did it get there? Im thinking it came with the latest update i did in osx.
You have International preferences turned on in System Preferences I think. If you don't like the flag you can always command-drag it off the menu bar...
Ya its system pref-international-input menu-then you turn it on or off if you want it in the menu above. I dont remember it being there and i havnt been in there to change it. Strange. I wonder if the latest update i did auto turned it on?
