    one of the most popular mistakes is 'excepting' instead of the correct word 'accepting' - why do so many posters get it wrong?

    Nope, we in UK do not need to qualify English as English (UK) by definition. I speak English not English(UK).
    You may disagree lol, but you DO speak English UK but use american Anacronyms. THAT is NOT english (UK) thats called transatlantic english, or gibberish.

    Americans speak Gibber, a form of gibberish. OK, just joking but I always thought that americans learnt their language because they were illiterate in the mid 1800s. They spelt as 'sound'. But I was told that this Webster guy was asked to provide a language for the USA. However he *******ised english as wot we spoke.

    He spelt many words as sounds. Theatre is how we spell it, theater is how americans spell it. Centre is also the correct way, but center is a 'sound' word. There are hundreds of other examples, but they are American English - NOT English. big difference. The original English language is derived from the arrival of the Vikings, The Angles and the Normans. american english is not. As English is much much older than the USA, we must be right.

    the internet english is another *******isation of english. Text speak is american and has no justification is written or spoken english. Which ios why, see my original post, a student using american text speak was a total failure because to the examiner, it made ZERO sense.
