I have no objection to changing this.  But I observe that the file we
call(ed) tmac/hyphenex.us comes from TeX
(http://ctan.org/pkg/hyphenex), where it's billed explicitly as
"Exceptions for American English hyphenation patterns."  While the
overwhelming majority of these are sure to be valid in non-US variants
of English, other such Englishes appear to be beyond the file's
intended scope.
