But which kind of English. I obviously speak English-English, me being English and all that jass. What kind of English do you speak? I'd be interested to know how tFS-ers who aren't native English speakers pronounce words.

Personally, I much prefer the American 'mom' to the English 'mum' and also the way some Americans pronounce 'mall' like 'maul'.

Prince, my vocab is totally saturated with americanisms. some of my friends who i havent seen for a while are like :blink:
its cause i spend literally my whole school year with americans and plus my mum is part american

i do prefer a lot of wrods they use.........apart from the pronounciation of VITAMIN!

must be my London education.. it's purely english/english to me, much more when spoken with a foreign accent... (love Marlen D. kind of english)

still if i was born in england, i'd probably add americanisms here and there..

I speak American English, New Yawk English to be exact.....that just means I add the occasional W to words that don't usually have them.

I actually don't really like one English better then the other but I do hate the slang some Americans come up with, but the English have slang too so I guess it's pretty balanced.

I learned English in Ukraine from my grandmother who spoke (and taught) english-english.....lived in America for many years....
Have a strange Russian/English/NY accent...and pronounce my t's as t's (not D's)

American English with a moderate Russian accent. Scary.

english english at school and american english at home/with friends has led me to adopt a subtle blend of the two englishes.

i pronounce more than half the world the british way though....i pronounce 'privacy', 'privicy' for example :P
