American English is wrong. One day we English will conquer you and make you speak the king's English again.

>>56400191
Does he speak like a Chad?

>>56400109
Should it say American?

>>56400191
We do speak the king's English. Brits are speaking a bastardized version of the language.

>>56400245

You americans are truly ruining the language

Oh boy... please tell me you're trolling.

>>56400191
But do we even know what real English sounded like anymore ?
I have the glaring suspincion that today's British english has that haughty forced accent because when America declared independence everyone felt so butthurt they decided to talk like haughty snobs to feel better about themselves.
And now we have to hear all those "u wot m8" and whatever. The original English became a parody of itself.

Is this the King's English? I can't help but think our English is more coherent than Britspeak.

>But do we even know what real English sounded like anymore ?
We actually do know what it sounded like.

But there were many regional dialects back then. English kept developing, and much of the accent of American and Australian English just comes from the most commonly used dialect at the time that the colonists spoke. Meanwhile, English in England kept developing.

>>56402210
Yes we do.
No, american English is just as far from the dialects of Shakespearean age as British are (and perhaps even a bit further). In terms of linguistics all these claims "the English I speak is real, yours's a parody" are lame

Always wondered if they differed.

>>56403507
That's one dialect of English spoken by our foreigners, also known as "hip hop."

The differences often come about because British English has tended to keep the spelling of words it has absorbed from other languages (like Latin, French), while American English has adapted the spelling to reflect the way that the words actually sound when they're spoken.
>Sorry for adapting like humans naturally do

As a non-native English speaker I don't give a fuck about spelling or pronounciation differences, and I can switch between the dialects depending on who I'm talking to. What does trigger me, is 'Murrican mental retardation manifesting itself in expressions like:
> I could care less (when they mean they couldn't)
> hold _down_ the fort (as if the fucking fort was inflatable toy filled with helium)

>>56400109
What's next, quebecois flag for French? Brazillian flag for Portuguese? Mexican flag for Spanish? The Union Jack for Arabic?

Create your own identity in a globalized world. Countries are so past millennia.

>American English is wrong.
Except you're wrong, AE is how English is suppose to be spoken. BrE is an abomination that shouldn't exist.

It seems pointless to get butthurt over the purity of a language like English. The whole thing is just a fucking Frankenstein of a bunch of other European (and even some non-European) languages and fucked up phonetics.

Nah, countries are definitely this millennia. The current state system is a pretty new concept, a few hundred years ago things were much more complicated, and that was the prevailing system for the last millennia.

See the infamous Baarle example, for instance.

Belgium is a natural melting pot of French, Dutch, German.

Great example although I'd rather point to Berlin post-WWII because countries are currently a matter of policy and law.

Constraining individual liberty and restraining cultural affiiliation and predispositions as a classical model to follow is undermining, I'd quote Nieztsche: The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently. There's also a French saying, traveling shapes youth.

By limiting citizenship and even further, identity, growth potential to antiquated models, you don't potentiate and optimize the expression of humanity but simply define it as a statistic.

Tradition certainly has value and stands the test of time, yet emphasizing unbiased individual freedom in a fairer world where intrinsic values are naturally optimized as creed instead of a birth right, determine a better model within other frameworks of world.
