English, please!

[Cordelia]

I prefer British English even though I am American... they just got it right and we messed it all up XD Honestly, the things we do... but of course, at least we can spell center. =P

Belize English is a thing? o.o

I'd like a hybrid of Australian (which is essentially exactly the same thing as UK) and American English. I like the way Australia/UK does most things, such as the double L in words like "travelling", the s rather than z in words like "realise" and the extra u in words like "colour" or "favour", so I'd say I'm primarily geared towards that because it's what I grew up knowing. But then again there are some things the Americans do with their English that I can't deny I prefer. I've thought about this before and come up with quite a few, but the only one I can think of right now is the American spelling of "jail". I do not now and will never accept "gaol" as a legitimate spelling for that word. Suck it, Australia.

American English; it's what everyone speaks XD
But really, aside from the tone you speak it, I see very little difference between the kinds of English.

English (Southern United States)

Should totally be an option, lol. You know. Made up contractions like shouldn't've, ain't, y'all, 'em, etc. Double negatives...all that good junk! lol

But in all serious, I'm fine with US and UK English. I still spell words incorrectly according to US English because I use a few UK spellings. I used to mainly use UK English in high school cause I thought it looked better, but some teachers would note my spelling so I had to go back to using US.

American English, but only because that's where I grew up and it's what I'm familiar with/learned in school. If I grew up elsewhere, I'd probably adopt and prefer that area's dialect/language.

Some American English grammar differences irk me, but I'm OK with the different spellings. I think it would be more interesting to hear the opinions of those whose first language isn't English, because anyone else is pretty much going to choose their own variation XD

I prefer British English. It's more distinguished, elegant than the other ones.
And it's also the easiest to understand for a non english-speaking person like me, since this kind of english is more articulated than the american one, for example. Moreover, at school, english teachers have the british accent.

I do not know the difference between Philippine English and US Englisg, but going for it.

 

[Lawrenсe]

I never really cared what English I speak or someone speaks. I've been taught how to speak and write US English, but I don't really mind any other.

 

[Honest]

Given I'm from New York, American I guess. I ADORE UK English though. They sound so cool.

 

[Natiya]

I speak American English myself, but I love the way UK English
sounds. I think most American I know go crazy for British English
though xD

 

[Alley Cat]

I use a mixture of US and UK I suppose. I prefer the UK spellings of a lot of words, and I pronounce my words as if I were English and not American. But I prefer some American terms over British ones and vice versa.

 

[Kura]

Spoken and accents don't really matter. I've always used Canadian-English spelling my entire life, but sometimes I find myself using American grammar..
As for English accents? :3 I like all of em!

 

[Leavanny]

I live in the UK currently, so English (United Kingdom), I suppose. Learning English was annoying - I'm still kinda confused when people use other kinds.

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

American English even though my friends tell me I pronounce certain words as if I went to a different country that speaks English.
