For Gili and our other British-English speaking friends, that would be true. I stand corrected, sir.

We don't speak British-English, those of us from England speak English It's not our fault that the Americans could not handle the correct spelling of a selection of words and had to develop US-English

I'm actually waiting for the day that American English starts being called simply American to distinguish it from English proper - because god knows most Americans can barely speak English.

At the risk of threadjacking a tribunal thread on threadjacking: there is no such thing as US English. There is just English, and some deranged variations which should indeed be called 'American', or whatever country-wide dialect it is.

Bah! There is American, and there is British, just as there is Dutch and Flemish!

What about Welsh and Scottish then? English is just English...

Wales and Scotland fall under the rule of, God save her, the Queen and speak therefore British!

I didn't think what the Welsh did could be called speech at all.

Wales and Scotland have their own celtic based languages.

English is the default for the UK

Not sure what happened there. I must have either overwritten Nagash's post in error, or something went weird in the split of this from the tribunal. Odd

Have corrected Nagash's previous post... I think ~Kaz

Ya'll need to quit stereo-typing Americans we all most certainly DO NOT speak the same language.



Here in the southern US we have our own language. Just call Venus if you don't believe me or get a Jeff Foxworthy dictionary. 'Cause i most certainly don't talk the same way i type.


If i typed the way it sounds most wouldn't be able to read it ;p



Besides English is WAAAAY over-rated

i sound like a hick lol....

a red neck hick, when we used vent , ppl probably were thinking , this guy is a hillbillly, no way this is the guy from the boards and irc lol ....


truth is , i am as far from a red neck as you can get, i have a thick southern accent tho , when i was in new york ... well i was glad i had my accent

Northern Girls seem to like southern accents


yallllllll know what i mean lol

That's just a matter of pronunciation though, innit, master Vox?

Funny. I didn't see this thread till after I made my signature.

Carry on.

Down here in Southend and where I work, English has been bastardised into 'Estuary English'.

What about... Scottish then?

Depends on where ye are, who you're talking to & how many pints they've had;p There's Scots (which is a jumble of about 5 or 6 dialects, sometimes promoted to an independent language depending on who you ask, that spans the Isles/NI down to the Lothians) and then there's Scottish English peppered with Scoticisms and finally 'Std English' mixed in for effect.

In Hawaii They speak what the call pigeon english witch is a mixture of several languages most not english in nature and i doudt any of you woud understand a word of it........

Lanai alani Maika`i Ke Akua
