>> 1. en-US
>> 2. en-UK
>> 3. en

There is no en-UK locale ID, nor an en_UK, the identifier for the United Kingdom is GB.

en-GB refers to British English as used anywhere in the world
en_GB refers to Generic English as used in the United Kingdom

> Docs say to use an underscore, not a hyphen. Are you sure your .lproj directories are correctly-named?

They don’t blanket recommend using identifiers that specify a generic language and region.

If you localise for en_GB and a user located in the United Kingdom moves to America and changes their region to United States (to adopt the US date format and currency etc), doesn’t suddenly start speaking American English, and would probably prefer the application continue to use British English, if they’ve put that ahead of American English or plain English in their language order preference.
