[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother was a perfect grammarian. I expect everyone to speak English correctly if they are teaching in a school. I don't care what race they are.[/quote]And the British think we speak English as though raised on a pig farm. Your mom was a perfect grammarian here. Outside of the our borders, maybe not.[/quote] I am English and I don't think that. I am aware that American English is sometimes, slightly different to British English. In terms of spellings, verb forms ("gotten" is strictly US not UK) and usage. For instance in the US you might say "he wrote me" but in the UK you would either say " He wrote to me" or "He wrote me a letter", never just "He wrote me". Doesn't make you pig farmers.[/quote] What's wrong with pig farmers?[/quote]
