It's certainly efficient turning every vowel into 'eeh'.

[Kowani]

At least it’s not Australian English…

[Luziyca]

While I use many American spellings (color, center, etc), I use some British spellings (cheque, and dialogue). And in my variety of English, people seem to alternate which spelling is used.

[Donutlia]

English is dumb and Latin should be the world language.

Earth is dumb, so I find that a poor case for Latin. Also, I hereby propose "American English" to be simply referred to as "American". Some of us are ahead of the curve in this regard.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

I use American English. For one, it’s the English I was taught and, two, I reside in the US. I don’t mind British English however.

[Highever]

I speak American English but I find that I write out British spellings pretty often.

[Ghost Land]

I have always preferred British English myself, despite being American; I use day/month/year, 24-hour time, and most British spellings in general stuff I write. Some British vocabulary has entered my vocabulary as well, such as "rubbish", "bloody heck", "WC", and others.

[Cappuccina]

It depends on which American English and which British English we're talking about. There are pleasant sounding dialects in each, and some terrible sounding ones.

[The Huskar Social Union]

In the context it was clear I was referring to Britain.

Decided to make a interesting topic about the two Englishes now before you say "Both Englishes are the same" they are not since American English and British English spell their words differently.

Here are some examples from both Englishes.

British Examples: Aeroplane, aluminium, chips, and colour.

American Examples: Airplane, aluminum, french fries and color.

With these differences in mind I ask you which one is better to use for writing and grammar? If you say British then should Americans learn it as well?

In my opinion I think both are great I mean there is no reason to hate both Englishes. I think the only reason why we have two Englishes is because of culture when America gained its independence I think they wanted their own identity and be different than the British like with the words Aeroplane and chips. But I do think Americans should learn how to spell British words like colour and aluminium since the British were the ones that set up the English language.

What do you say NSG? Do you prefer American or British English? And should Americans use British spelling in their writing?

What people do not understand is that part of the Lend-Lease program during WW2 was a clause that transferred custody of the "common language" to the United States. Under the agreement, should the United States Department of State decide that Great Britain has committed a linguistic offense, the United States is entitled to take military action to arrest the person or persons committing said offense, and to remove extraneous U's from words like "honor" or "color."

Saying British English is like saying Chinese food in China. It's just food.

There's different dishes of course but it's just food.

To distinguish from English then, sure, add American or Australian or shortern to Singlish.

Having said that do people say Mexican Spanish, or Colombian Spanish or do they simply speak Spanish with variations.

Also, are there other clear distinctions such as Dutch and Afrikaans?

Ansr plz.

Yes. Mexican Spanish is the most spoken form but is almost unintelligible to Europeans, Argentinian and Chilean Spanish borrow a lot from Italian and German, Dominicans speak at 10,000 words a second, etc..

The idioms can be very confusing. Growing up visiting Puerto Rico, oh my.

[Shrillland]

I use of mix of US and UK in my personal days, as some of you are aware, and for my short stories that I'm writing. For my regular job, I strictly keep to US since it's a requirement.

Sure but when I view language options I might see American English vs British English but I don't remember seeing, say, Mexican Spanish.. so I'm wondering if it's a thing rather than wondering if there's differences in the languages.
