The grammar determines how an announcement constructs numbers, dates, and so on. Different grammars result in different audio file requirements. Currently you can choose from standard grammar or British English grammar. The main differences are apparent in the construction of numbers and dates. In standard grammar, the date 9th November 2020 would be constructed as "Monday nine November two thousand twenty". In British English grammar, the date would be constructed as "Monday ninth of November two thousand and twenty", requiring two additional audio files: "of" and "and".
