English

what is the benefit with speak british english instead of american english?

American English-Made simple for simple people (Americans)

since you're in the western hemisphere probably not. I think British English is spoken by more people than American when you take India etc into account, but honestly they're the same language.

English is the simplest language as it is

American English is pretty much the same as British English, the main difference being some weird spelling differences (color/colour) and word choice (fries/chips). But speaking/writing one means you can easily understand the other.

You get more respect, and people generally think you're slightly more intelligent.

Like Louis Theroux.

There's not a ton of differences between the two anymore. The 21st century is seeing the two rapidly converge thanks to the internet and mass media. A lot of American terms are entering the British lexicon and a lot of British terms are entering the American lexicon.

True English pros should be comfortable with both.

k

implying a non native english speaker would be able to speak with any native accent

also you are implying that there are any significant differences between the dialects

>unironically believing this meme

typing ou instead of o, and saying in hospital instead of in the hospital is infinitely more complex

Foreigners speak American English due to Americanisation.

In theory by speaking British English you're not giving in to Americanisation.

>haha dude americans are so dumb man, what? I'm not american man I'm French cowabunga how could you not tell dude!

We also add s to the end of directional adverbs, like "went forwards" rather than "went forward".

Rule Britannia!

You can not replicate British English as non native, go with whatever accent comes out of your mouth

Americans say forward instead of forwards?

dunno met plenty of poles, portugese etc who pick up a very strong english accent after living here for a couple of years.

im thinking about it and it is half and half. i would say went forward, but would also say went backwards.

It literally doesn't matter. It's always non-English speaking natives who try to start some sort of rivalry between Americans and Brits.

I've heard both desu

We say both actually.

Next you'll be telling me you guys don't eat in the American style.

>eat in the American style
I'm... intrigued. Do Brits not eat food with their mouths?

>brits dont piss and shit out of their cunthole

I use my third eye

The American style involves cutting the food with the knife in the right and the fork in the left, switching knife and fork over, eating, then repeating.

British English sounds better imo and they use the correct spelling

The farthest I go with food etiquette is:
>no elbows on table
>chew with your mouth closed

There isn't one. American English is the variety used by the majority of native speakers, so that is the logical choice for anyone wanting to learn the language.

>Why yes I want to learn Ebonics

Basically what you're saying when you want to learn American English.

That's a pretty autistic remark.

God created English English. American is a man-made corruption.

I don't care wether you speak British or American English. I'm just glad we are able to easily communicate :)

>God created English English
i never knew french people were god

Fag

Ebonics is basically Chav speak for black people

Yeah but most White Americans have adopted it.

>a fucking leaf

that sure makes my head hurt

The preferred term is "Relevant English"

The satisfaction of being correct.

That was probably before you all started speaking Spanish

>american english
>it's actually spanish

>una puto hoja

Why go for an accent when you can learn the original?

Reminder that American English is actually immaculately preserved Shakespearean English and that modern Bri'ish """"""""English"""""""" is some inbred Franco-Pakistani dialect.

Reminder that this is an absolute meme and in reality the colonies were full of mongs who dumbed down the language.

reminder that most americans can't even speak english and prefer their native spanish.

You're clearly in denial, and I pity you.

>mfw Elizabeth would've sounded like a qt southern belle

>mfw you are a spic

The mental image of that disturbs me

>mfw you don't speak real english

>paco thinks he speaks proper english

you're gonna get deported soon L O L

Is "paco" some of that chav slang?

SHUT UP
