American English

Absolutely. Read a BBC article about something involving baseball once, had me laughing out loud.

Saw NFL highlights on Sky Sports international broadcast once. I think it was just an excuse for the presenter to say 'Jacksonville Jaguars' and sound really English.

No issues with the way our yank cousins change a few words of our language. But fell over crying in a Indianapolis supermarket a few years ago when hearing how some little local minx pronounced "Worcester Sauce"

Good work, CT. That's the spirit. Your credentials are unlimited.

And the things they call food items... Gammon? Who wants to take a bite out of Peter 'fing Gammons? Bleah! Pastie? You need two of those for the working pole dancers in some jurisdictions. And as far as Nature Boy is concerned, don't hold back, CT. The Winnipeg arena is gonna be on fire... Only in America can you find Space Mountain.

Couple of things you beauts, firstly you have bastardised a perfectly good language and try to pass it off as your own.

The thing that annoys me most is travelling anywhere in the Americas and finding that the English language is symboliZed by an American flag. Just [Poor language removed] off. What about Canada? What about Belize? They speak English you tits. Never mind the ****ing English who invented the language ffs.

My last point is about how you pronounce the word aluminium. You absolute tools. Sort that sh*t out.

Anyway, wanted to give you a few home truths before I linked this.

'Root'-'Route' is a regionalish type thing. Americans say both.

Like greasy.

Northerners use the soft "S"; Southerners tend to replace the "s" with a "z" when saying it.

water fountain or bubbler?
Pop, soda, tonic or Coke?
