Oh yes I agree, while a debate could shift from US to UK users.
As a side note, when I moved over from the US to EU at the age of 18, I meet my best friend, a UK native living in Spain, he on the contrary to myself, grew up in Spain and spoke perfect Spanish. But when he would speak to me in english (UK English), I would have a hard time understanding what he was saying [:D] Iam a native Spanish who grew up in Canada/US.
Although my english at that time was in top shape native almost like, I did have issues understanding most of the UK folks I meet in the Spanish turist town I lived in at the time, wont even mention Irish or Scottish folks I meet, and by that I mean the same hard time understanding. With time you get used to it, but yes, there is quite a differeance between UK and US English.
Not only that, I have noticed over the years that American English has evolved quite alot since I went to school in the 80īs. The phrasing and word use has been very much enriched since then. Have a look at some of the old Avalon Hill game manuals of the 80īs and/or watch older movies fron the 80īs and one can tell how much it has evolved. So, if your not in constant conversations with the current phrasing/word use of todays Americans, itīs most likely you will sound like you learned English in some foregin country. (simple English)
Ok, I hope the grammar class is over, beacuse the "spell checker" we had on the web some time ago moved to work for Garmin on there GPS devices [:D]
Well, if we all spelled correctly, the Grammarly app would be out of business! Iam not buying though!
