In the U.S.A. aren't there really only 2 kinds of people, those who speak proper English and those who don't?

Question

Similairly, there are 2 kinds of people in the world those who are American and those who are not.

Can we please focus on the question at hand?

I'm reporting everyone who didn't answer the question since that is a clear violation of the guidelines.

Answer 1

I know lots of Americans that speak broken English. I'm from the south and some of your most educated people speak using local colloquialisms. I think you are less than tolerant towards people different than yourself. Grow up and find something in the world you can actually change.

Answer 2

I sincerely hope you are being sarcastic. In the U.S.A. we do not speak English, we speak American English. Which is quite different that the English spoken in the UK and Europe. American English is full of slang and branded names used as terminology (ex. Kleenex used for the word tissue). Slang differs from region to region through out the country as well (ex. pop vs. soda). It is a difficult language to learn and uses terms from the many countries that we came from in everyday speech. It can be as rich and descriptive as it can be tasteless. It all depends on the person using it.

As to the second part of your question, I would never be so arrogant to make or think such a comment seeing as most of the population in the U.S.A. comes from so many different countries and cultures that we honor in many ways in our families and communities.

Answer 3

No English is not the language American speak.

Answer 4

I guess you qualify as someone who does not speak proper English.

Answer 5

Then there are those that think they are speaking English and you can't understand a darn thing they're saying....think Cajuns....
