An Anglicised New "American" Bible is an oxymoron - Anglicisation (using Oxford and American spelling, "Anglicization") means to make the text conform to British spelling and grammar; that would make it the New British Bible!
I did find much of the American country-bumpkin vernacular in the original NAB to be terrible (such as "dilly-dally" in the Binding of Isaac), but it seems most has been removed in the NABRE (of which the OT still has a lion's share of problems, but at least not that one, which made the Bible read like it took place in Tennessee instead of the Near East).

An Anglicianised version would be nice.
