English, please!

[The Author]

So, as I am sure most of us are aware, there are several different types of the English language.

Do you hold any preference as to which "English" you prefer?

English (Australia)
English (Belize)
English (Canada)
English (Caribbean)
English (India)
English (Ireland)
English (Jamaica)
English (Malaysia)
English (New Zealand)
English (Republic of the Philippines)
English (Singapore)
English (South Africa)
English (Trinidad and Tobago)
English (United Kingdom)
English (United States)
English (Zimbabwe)

I have always used UK England. I don't know why but I have used it.

 

[Legobricks]

Misvoted US. I speak British English, although I have come to prefer the American 'panties' over 'knickers'.

 

[Mew~]

Eh, it's all the same to me. I live in the UK, so yeah- English (United Kingdom).

 

[SquirtleGirl]

English- United Kingdom all the way! :D

Though English in Ireland isn't really that different asides from the slang and stuff =P

 

[Nick]

American English, because that's what I use every day. I do, however, vastly prefer the way Canadian English and UK English spell some of their words.

 

[psyanic]

I'm also American English. That's just the English I know.

 

[Blue Nocturne]

I considered voting for U.S English. I appreciate the love it gives to the letter 'K'. Sceptic? That's ridiculous! It's a harsh 'k' sound. K deserves a nice word.

Out of some misjudged sense of loyalty, I went for UK. I prefer trousers to pants, so I guess I can fall back on that. Aubergine > Eggplant as well.

 

[mondays suck]

Voted for "I do not speak English", since I can count the times I used it outside of class or the internet on my fingers.

The only thing I could say about this is that I tend to like American words better but prefer British ways to write words that are written differently while being the same phonetically.

 

[Kroso]

I voted "United States English"because I'm from the country and it's obviously one of cultures despite Spanish is one as well.Yes I know I could have picked South America,but I was picky

 

[Ivysaur]

As an European, I have always studied the British English, so I'm more used to it.

Accent-wise, I prefer Australian English though.

 

[Mario The World Champion]

To me, English is English. It's just what part of the world and what type of English you use. We can all understand each other.

But I use American English. I've been using it for 30 years.

I am American.
However, I prefer British English.

 

[Hybrid Trainer]

I like UK english, it really gets under my skin when applications refer to English as being America. Like when Steam shows the English language with the USA flag next to it.

I know theres a difference between the two, it just bugs me when it's all generalised to being American.

 

[PlatinumDude]

I prefer American English because while growing up in the US, I became accustomed to the American terms in contrast with other versions of English.

 

[Zeffy]

I don't really see what the big difference between these "types" of English. Perhaps the way people pronounce and spell the English words? I just don't get it.

Anyways, I've been accustomed to both American and British English, despite growing up in the Philippines. English isn't really the basic language in this country therefore the department of education borrows from foreign countries.

 

[Binary]

I'm not a native English speaker, so my English is kind of based on personal preference which may vary with context and circumstance. So, I can't really pinpoint the "English" I use formally. I do, however, strongly prefer British English. :>

 

[Esper]

I speak American English, but I prefer any English that doesn't use copious amounts of slang that I can't understand. I haven't had too many instances where I didn't know what someone was talking about so I guess I'll just default and say I prefer American English.

 

[Sammi]

I'm another person who prefers American English, because that's what I know.

I've got no problem with the other countries' ways of doing things, though. In fact I like learning the differences between different kinds of English. (:

 

[Charizard★]

I personally prefer 'US English' but I've grown up with Hispanic accented English as well as 'Indian English.'
