	kitkattail  +  5299 Fri, 22 Aug 03 07:21 PM 1. Canadian English, I think, is sort of a hybrid mix of American English and British English. Not so much French. Unless, of course, you're talking about Quebec, where nobody seems able to stick to just one language. 2. I don't see much of the past simple with "yet," even here in North America; usually people do indeed use the perfect present. Maybe a few people don't, but I think it's generally considered wrong. Even my American friends don't seem to use it... kitkattail Joined on Tue, Aug 12 2003 Toronto Full Member 400 www.kitkattail.blogspot.com British English, American English, Past Simple

	Elena  +  5376 Sat, 23 Aug 03 03:36 PM But British have different accents along different places Orpheus, even inside England there are different accents, I heard them! Hitchhiker, if it's the same as Spanish of Spain and Spanish of America, I don't consider American English a development of British English, to me there are English of America and English of Britain, they ran in different way. I have a lot of funny words which mean very different things in Spanish and in Argentine-Spanish, as this is an English forum I won't relate them but if anyone interested, let me know.
