"Select Language" really annoying to click each time: Any way to default to "English" ??

Since Lemmy bugs out and fails to post whenever I forget to "Select Language", I feel the need to select "English" every time. But why should I do this? I can't speak any other languages.

Is there a setting somewhere that automatically sets "English" without me having to post?

Also, can the UI like... die / allow me to come back without forcing me to reload the page? Its incredibly frustrating to post right now.
