Re: Difference between American and British English

As a linguist, much of this thread pains me. First of all, ALL languages have grammar. It is inherent to language and utterly impossible to measure if one language has more or less grammar than any other. Secondly, modern linguistics does not recognize any one dialect as more...

Re: SPOT A NON NATIVE SPEAKER!

I think it's quite amusing that some of you proceed to criticize other people's syntax and grammar when you yourselves cannot even write correctly. I am from Tennessee, an area not largely known for proper English dialect, but I can still tell all of you that you are constantly using comma...

Re: Why American English??

I'm sorry but this initial post strikes me as very ignorant and, as an American, a tad offensive. I would be curious to know if the original poster is a native speaker of English, and why they feel so "disgusted" by any English variant. Anyway, it is true that Americans did purposefully change...

Re: Something to share

Well I've read quite a lot into the origins of the English language, most of it was quite "dry" and without any humour, great! The English language started life as a German dialect called "Plattdeutsch" or Friesisch. This language was spoken mainly by the Saxons, it is still spoken in Northern...
