US english is a hideous bastardisation, and should be universally outlawed.

I used to deal with an Iraqi engineer in Bahrain who went to university in Liverpool. Good fun to speak to, once you got used to him.
Technical e-mails with no punctuation were impossible to decipher, it was quicker to decode the faults. Which is saying something, considering they were in backwards hexadecimal and needed 17 volumes of tech manuals to decode.

I don't like American English, because it's just regular English but with letters missing.

Every time I've been to the USA some gimp in airport security asks me if I'm Australian. We don't all sound like Hugh bloody Grant. Australian! How to **** off a Northener in one easy sentence.
Note: No offence to Australians, its just that I'm not.

Here is the process of thought.
1. Doesn't sound like English person from films.
2. Who else speaks English?
3. Oh yeh Australia.
4. Hes Australian.

I just hate english for all the useless letters in between that have no etymological reason to be there, other than filling a line in a Shakesperean piece of work...

Do you say tomato as "towmaytoe" or "tomahtoe" ?
If you say "tomahtoe" then shouldnt you say potato as "potahtoe" ?
Personally, I nominate the Drunken New Zealander dialect as the worst form of spoken english.

What type of english do you like/loath the most?
Me personally american/indian.
There is no such thing as 'american' english. There is only british english. The rest is just foreign jibberish, with american causing the most physical discomfort to the ear. |

American English pronunciation is probably closer to how people used to speak english (a few centuries ago).

All forms of English for the win.
Even all the Aliens in Star Trek and most other Sci Fi films speak perfect English despite never having met us before. They just know who's boss !!!
The worst form of english is the jibberish youngsters type in their text messages though. Its beyond 1337 spk.
Oh and yes, Ive been to America once and was asked if I was australian about 3 times. Honestly its not even nearly the same. I think next time I will wear a bowler hat, carry and cane and sip from a cup of tea whilst going "Cor blimey guv'nor, shine your shoes ?"
so they know
So HMV consider Andy Williams and Dean Martin to be "easy listening" do they? Tell that to my mate Dave, he's been deaf for 20 years.

Im from england and many of you who are also from england seem to be mocking the americans for mistaking us for australians, ive got one question for you? have you ever mistaken a canadian for an american? hehe, see its an easy mistake to make if your not familiar with certain accents.
P.s. english spoken with a female french accent is by far the sexiest
