American, British or other?

First off sorry for referring to literally every other language as "other" I understand that may come off as a bit crude, It was the only way I could think of at the time. Feel free to state the specifics of your language below.

By English I mean British.

I also understand that there are several different states that have their own accents and such. You can talk about that below too if you'd like.
Anyway...
I was going through the forum as usual when I saw the word "mom" in a post which gave me the Idea to find out the ratio of people in the site in terms of nationality I don't mean heritage just If you're an american, British etc. so cast your vote and let's find out.

For the record I'm English born and raised but my mother and father etc. are Italian my mum just choose to move and so yeah.

 

Aren't American and British simply both English?

Simply one has an American accent and the other has a British accent?

 

Fundamentally yes, but in britain If you speak with a strong american accent to the point that you use words such as mom instead of mum and aluminum instead of aluminium then you're described as speaking american not english. Also aren't some words spelt differently? for example color (american) and colour (English).
So are you American or British?

I just wanted to find out how many people on the site were from the UK compared to America. Thanks for bringing this up. I think I might change English in the title to British to make it clearer.

 

No worries I just found it confusing,

Its the same thing for us with French... We have Quebec French, Acadian french, France French ETC but in reality its all french...

I remember in French Class now bare with me that was some 15 years ago.... Where we were taught that in french there is 4 ways to categorize it

Proper French - Highest form of french
Common French - French spoken by certain countries IE: Canadian French Vrs France French
Regional French - A version of french with a specific accent for the area
Community french - A version of french full of slang words ETC only know to the people of that community....

I think this is what you are trying to identify is what style of English are people speaking on this site not what language they are technically speaking...

anyways sorry for nit picking

Also

I am neither.... Just like Negi I am French Canadian......

YES US FRENCH CANADIAN ARE TAKING OVER MOUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Oh wait its breakfast time a damn it ill have to cancel my take over for now can't do anything on an empty stomach!

 

Spoiler: French

In French, there is no different spellings depending on the region, spelling varies with age.
For instance the word key, if you were born prior to 1998 you're likely to spell it "clef", but if you were born after 1997, then "clé" is what you probably spell it as.

Both spellings are correct.
Clef will slowly become archaic and be removed from the dictionary.
They tend to add spellings that are phonetic to certain words that are hard to spell.


Saying I'm French Canadian refers to the slang I use (although I don't like slang in French), the swear words I use (e.g. I like to say Câlice, but in France, it's equivalent would be putain), it
As for the accents, I make fun of all French accents that aren't Montreal South Shore French, so don't worry, I'm making fun of everyone's accent (and vice versa).

As for English, I spell everything with a U and I use, I spell Mum both ways.
I pronounce Z zed (as in French) and sometimes (albeit less and less frequently) zee.

as a souteast asian, specifically filipino, i categorize as others. now if you are curious as to which english standard we are using, we implement the american way (for being colonized for about 50 years and al).

 

I'm a Brit

 

I'm an American

 

Well, apparently I have a British blood line... It's not overly common for mii but on the occasion I get cranky or talking for too long, I have a clear British accent... So I can't deny that. *shrugs*

 

French Canadian. Australian. Filipino. Coooool.
Hurray for global networks. (^♢^)

Remind me not to talk to you too long.

Because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and (You didn't read all this, did you?) start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away, because if I do, you might get cranky and start using that accent on me, which means that I am also in trouble for setting you off, and as a result I would either need to shut up or get away.

 

American, sometimes with a southern twang (accent). And no, none of the cowboy talk one typically hears in movies.

Stargate Atlantis. Canadian scientist, Dr Rodney McKay (character) calls a ZPM a ZedPM. lol Sorry. Your talk of zed and zee reminded me of him.

 

American born to Hispanic immigrants.

I think your internet broke

 

Hahahahahaa! I laughed so hard at that. I got up to the first green but then skipped. I did find that you wrote (you didn't read this part did you) or something like that... So I wasn't entirely ignorant of the entire message. it's alright, pretty hard to annoy mii and make Mii cranky. I've gotta really not like you or you know you've pushed my boundaries for mii to snap. So you're fine.

 

American but I often find myself thinking in proper British thanks to listening to much UK Rap and Grime.

 

UK rap and grime is almost as bad as food we have here.

 

If you don't like rap then sure. UK rappers don't talk about guns all the time (besides Ghetts) and aren't wannabe gangstas (again besides Ghetts) like the Americans. One of my favorite lines from Bonkaz "no flags we never blood and we never crippin"

Also I never had English food.

 

Well I guess if you like it then that's unquestionable a good thing

English food technically doesn't exist we just steal recipes from other places and make them worse.

 

American by birth. Texan by incredible luck. But classified as a mutt. I have Italian, Scottish, Pennsylvanian Dutch, Native American, and German all wrapped up in one crazy sumbitch.
