The reason is that the "english" option of babel is used as an alias for usenglish (TeX's default language patterns, as TeX is a Stanford child). However, if another English variety is used (british, canadien, australian, even american, etc.), english is set to the last one loaded (a bug in babel, see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/12775/babel-english-american-use nglish) Thus, Babel issues a warning when both "english" and _some_ English variety are used. It expects either "english" (only) or the use of the variety names. > I have found that when using the KOMA scrartcl class with the LyX > setting "English (UK)" and biblatex/biber, pdflatex issues warnings > that > the babel package setting of english is inappropriate when british > is > the primary language.

Use "English (USA)" for american English instead. > Is this a bug in LyX? I wouldn't call it a bug, since LyX provides proper american language selection. Maybe LyX could take care that "american" is used instead of "english" if another English variety is in play. HTH Jürgen > > Regards > > Frank Salter >
