Have you ever considered to yourself that you could be spending your time doing something else other than posting complete crap on the BBS?

Can you please translate that into American?
It appears to be an insult, but I'm not sure.

I'm sorry, I only speak smartass. Could you rephrase that without using the letter "e"?

I did not know there is a cohesive dialect of English all US citizens speak.

Well, they are different languages! :D

Very convincing argument, thank you for this useful contribution to the discussion

Actually, Americans speak a dialect of English. More importantly, there's not one type of "American English", either. It's the same way with how there's not one "British English".I have also never heard, in my time in the UK, anyone pronounce it "pee sah".

Well, most do. Others speak

Most of these differences were false.

Like "curtain" and "drape". I have never heard anyone call curtains drapes( and I live in the US). It's also true for "closet" and "wardrobe".
I can't remember them all, but quite a few of these are false.

English (UK) and English (US). Simples

We don't call it maize?? At least the majority don't.

Wardrobes and closets are two different things. There's a wardrobe in the living room in my house, but there's a closet in the hallway and a closet in my bedroom. We Americans say both "taxi" and "cab",both "drapes" and "curtains", both "film" and "movie", and both "fall" and "autumn". Whoever made that pic, I dunno where they got that info.

We might not often say "trousers" anymore, but some people will (particularly older people). When we say "jelly", we mean jam, so we'd be confused if you called jello that. "Pavement" is kinda vague, so yeah, we say "sidewalk". I'd say "I just shoveled dog shit off the pavement out back" but there sure isn't a sidewalk in the back of my house. We say "garden" all the time, but if there's nothing growing on our land but grass, we're not gonna call it that. "Yard" is just the general space in back and/or front of our living space. Also, I've seen signs for trash disposal saying "rubbish" instead of "trash" or "garbage", but yeah, I don't think we tend to say that beyond the figurative use ("oh, that's rubbish").

Pictured: not a closet.

Mfw "American"

I couldn't resist

I do understand Swedish and written Danish (some spoken too). I have watched a few movies in Swedish and Danish in school, for understanding. Yes they are different languages from Norwegian. I don't see the irony.

Along with plenty of others that people probably don't know about.

No Americans speak English, just because a couple words are different doesn't mean you speak a different language.

Yes, I speak American.
It's 'cuz it's a language so much further advanced
beyond the reaches of translation,
that it infact appears retarded.

They're called dialect you ignoramus.

Just as British speak British English, it can be shortened to British, or in this case.
"I speak American", or to be more specific, american accent.
