EG Australia, Canada, India, Jamaica, & about a third of # the rest of the world coloured pink on the old British Empire maps # of the world.Plus many other English speakers in much of the rest # of the world, not ever part of the empire, some of those prefer the # British original, some prefer the American variant, & some prefer # their own / other variants. Nothing particularly reference about # the American dialect, but there Is perhaps something particularly # unique & reference like about the English language used in the City # of London, Home Counties, England & Britain etc. # # I am English. Born in England, Southern Britain, & real English is # the language taught me in England by my English Parents, Schools, # & Universities. # # Americans claiming to be reference English is preposterous, # as ridiculous as: # - An American deep pan Pizza (the Italians don't have it) # - A Bavarian Cappuccino (the Italians don't use gobs of cream, but steamed frothed milk) # - A Bavarian spaghetti bolognese (the Italians don't use gobs of gristle, # as does a nearby Bavarian `Italian' where they called the police # to try to force payment for rubbish refused on sight as it arrived # at the table. # - An English spaghetti bolognese (the Italians don't use tons of meat like # the weird thing the English serve as. # - A Cheddar cheese bought on the German/Belgian border, not even made # in Britain, let alone England, or the Cheddar Gorge. # Cheddar is yellowish, Not Orange like German's expect. # - A Marks & Spencer German Stollen, a bright colourful doubtless # sugar saturated fruit cake, # looking nothing like any stollen # I've ever seen in over a quarter century in Germany. # Reference English is the English of British residents, Not of American # descendants of emigrants who left England in the Mayflower in 1620.
