learned hiberno-english
American english lacks soul
The teaching of the English language in Spanish schools does not delve that much into such matters. Most Spaniards don't really know about the different English accents.
Mostly hybryd, about 30% american and 70% british. I prefer to use british, but it mostly mixed too because I have a habit to use some words this way or another
the differences are marginal and irrelevant
Sure thing, wanka.
Does Australia have it's own version of English?
Just colloquial slang
I learned british english, what a waste of time, I wish they had taught us real (i.e. american) english instead.
Proxy mutt
>it's
"its"
I'm Bavaryan, thank you.
Americans lack soul
yeah alrighty, drongo
Sadly I learned to write English at school instead of our own language.
this reminds me of a question ive had for a long time, directed at you bongs and aussies. has americanization affected your language in any way? have young people started using more american terms like the one in OPs pic, is your accent getting slowly replaced?
i learned American English but i spell "practice"
do Americans really use "practise"?
True
Shoo, Pajeet, shoo
>colour
all i remember from english was reading some shakespeare and of mice and men so both i suppose
When I was young I used to think that "mourning" was the fancy & British version of "morning"
I spent years using it that way
why are Germans like this? I bet you could find multiple minor grammatical errors in /deutsch/, but you would rather act smug about your english skills
yes to a very noticeable degree
we all talk like californian jamaicans
>bet you could find multiple minor grammatical errors in /deutsch/
I'm not a german nazi.
Learn british instead
lmao cute
isnt s vs c used when its verb vs noun
e.g.
to practise, a practice
to advise, an advice
vrang.
OVR AIN LEDE.
No such thing as American English, a few random spelling differences and saying sidewalk instead of pavement does not a dialect make.
Heaps we started calling chips “fries” in recent years absolutely ashamed of my countrymen. Also common words like gaol aeroplane paedophile the like are commonly spelt the american way
Fuck, you're right.
American should be the EU's official language while british english should be thrown into the trash bin of history.
We learned to use mostly British spelling, but were taught to favour utilizing American for some words as well.
Bri'ish
It literally doesn't matter at all.
>favour utilizing
The only difference between canadians and americans is you say zed instead of zee
What a dumb thing to say.
The relevant one.
English spelling is disgusting.
the English are the most stupid men to live.
american but I always used words like colour, honour because it feels right
but no one saiys OUR they say OR.
I cringed.
same thing in england as well lol
a lot of these words are interchangeable completely, you wouldn't get downmarked on an english paper for example if you used criticize or practise instead of practice etc
I learn French english
>And we don't get shot.
>Americans write the word hour as hor
They really do. Can't make this up.
But I hate american spelling and slang, my goal is to be able to use 100% british english
What's cringe is having an opinion on which version of a non native language someone should speak, all the versions are correct, doesn't make a difference
cringe
>Did you learn british english or american english in school?
We used American spelling, but also British words (lift,flat,pavement e.c.t )
british english = virgin
american english = chad
>And we don't get shot
>"The toll from the worst mass shooting in Canada's modern history, a 14-hour rampage over the weekend, has risen to 22 from 19, police say"
