Avoid the Input Menu's US flag in the menubar
Or just turn off the input menu (System Preferences -> International -> Input Menu -> Show input menu in menu bar)...

I changed it to the British flag (union jack). I think I have a standard US keyboard. What exactly happens if I change it to the British flag?

I'm using the British flag as well and don't have any problems with that set-up (actually my keyboard is Swiss-German, but as a touch-typer I don't really mind what is printed on those keys).

Or Brazilian or Dutch. These three seem the same as the US (from Keyboard Viewer/Keycaps). I think the British one switches the currency symbols around (remember, they need £) somewhat.

The same thing that happens if you change it to any other keyboard - the mapping for certain keys will change. You can see which ones by using Keyboard Viewer - open Keyboard Viewer (aka Key Caps) and switch the flags while holding down different modifier keys. The major difference between UK and US is that # (hash, shift-3) in the US layout is £ (GBP) on a UK keyboard (and option-3 is #). Option key input differs for other things slightly as well.

Those who don't wish to see the US flag may not care for the British one either. I use the Irish flag.

Well, one would assume that this hint is for people who like the easy access to the Character Palette and Keyboard Viewer palette -- but are annoyed by the bitmapped American flag in the menu bar (be it for either aesthetic or political reasons).

There's a lot less reason to keep the character palette in the input menu these days. Since the introduction of Panther we've had it at the bottom of the Edit menu (disguised as "Special Characters..."). Although there's no other simple way to get the Keyboard Viewer, it's frankly not all that useful these days. Only a few hundred of the available Unicode character are there and it's probably easier to pick them from the character palette anyway.
