It's not a microsoft problem... we write the same way as the Americans do... 
even if we don't use the same language :)  BTW what you set here has no 
bearing on your spell checkers, date displays etc...
The reason for the space thing...
In some languages it they have characters that seem to be a combination of a 
punctuation symbol and a letter.  If you press " then O for example, you get
an O with two dots on top.  That is why that feature is in there.  Choosing 
English (US) disables it.

Albert
