Brits: Do Americans speak English, or American?

Question

Thanks for your answers!

Answer 1

There is now a great difference between English and American English, not only in vocabulary but in grammar and syntax. This is, of course, a natural development caused by the physical separation of our respective countries. What truly worries me is that from reading the questions and answers on this site I cannot help but feel that a large section of the American population is losing its ability to communicate in any language. An example of this can be seen in a recent survey and report that found nearly half of students attempting to get into Community Colleges were in need of remedial reading and writing training before being able to reach entry standard.
