"Take-out" sign on Junkertown uses what is generally an American term rather than "take-away"

This is pretty big nit-picking but oh well.

On the new map, Junkertown, after the first checkpoint there is a sign on the street corner which advertises "take-out", a term which I guess is more commonly used in America. In Australia, we actually call it "take-away" rather than the other.

This is obviously no big deal but it's gonna piss off some of us Aussies. I'm not too sure if I'm the only one that has noticed this so far. Maybe in post-apocalyptic Australia we have resorted to American terms.

EDIT: I'm being told to tell this to the blizzard forums but I've never posted on there before and don't know how things work. If somebody would like to do it for us or even start a petition that would be great as this is a disastrous and game breaking error which is honestly making me lose my interest of playing the game. Hopefully the overwatch YouTubers get behind this problem. I also request a direct apology from Jeff Kaplan to the players. Literally unplayable.

EDIT 2: I thought competitive was toxic. Let me restate that this is nit-picking. I don't think this is a big problem. This is just a tiny thing I noticed, which I didn't think would get this much attention. Also, yes I'm going to make a forum post because I being attacked for not knowing how to do that.

EDIT 3: Don't wanna do the stereotypical "wow, this blew up thing" but...

FINAL EDIT: Thankyou anonymous forum user, TheLegend27, for posting it for me seeing as my account didn't let me. I wish daddy Kaplan upon you.

    I'd like to offer a direct apology to the entire country of Australia. Please forgive our cultural insensitivity. We will fix this in an upcoming patch (the sign travesty will most likely go live for some period before being fixed).

    I've also been told by Muselk that our coffees are too large as well. We're learning... trying, over here...

    Looks like it will be fixed for when the map goes live.
