I'm starting to remember all states. I just don't know the acronyms. Thanks though Florida education system at its finest. I have a cousin from Florida and she didn't know half the stuff they expected her to when she moved up here. Oh no. I'm learning it by myself. |

Americam English is too similar to English to be a dialect imo No, he is right, it is a dialect. Fair enough. I guess because of slight differences in spelling and some words not existing. (Why do Americans not want sexy words like "indubitable"?) |

Americam English is too similar to English to be a dialect imo I know but officially it's a dialect And even within America, there are different (and 90%+ mutually intelligible) subdialects. Southern, New England, and CA are rather different |

Southern, New England, and CA are rather different The 5% that aren't intelligible are in the South Yeah, but American English is in my opinion far better than British English. I mean seriously, British English has really funky words imo. Canadian English is like a mix of both, so it results in some really weird occurrences where you'll have a sentence that contains both American and British vocabulary. |

In american dialects people know what eachother are saying, they understand eachother. So i wouldnt call it a dialect, in Europe when someone speaks a dialect, people that arent from the region dont understand it. That it has a different pronounciation doesnt mean its a dialect, but when it has a different vocabulary and when people that arent from the region cant understand it, i call it a dialect

Europe has languages with dialects (Bavarian is a dialect of German, for example) |
