    I have seen alot of people who want to learn english, In non-English countries, they are taught British English. Then they come to the States here not understanding the englsih here. American English have a lot of grammer rules.

  11. dirtpipedan says:

    The grammar rules are all the same, the language is just spoken and used a bit differently.
    some of it is very subtle, like in America you’d say “I don’t have time to do that” whereas in Britain someone would probalby say “I haven’t got the time to do that”. just little differences like that. I think it’s juts the accents and idioms. grammar is all the same though.

    I quote: “American English have a lot of grammer rules”

    See something wrong there?
    (I’m not attacking you by the way, I just noticed XD)

  13. goss525 says:

    Whats wrong with it?

  14. slayingacedia says:

    It should be, “American English has a lot of grammar rules.” :)

    And I agree with dirtpipedan; it’s mostly a lot of slang or phrasing. For example, Brits say “lorry” (lorrie?) and Americans say “truck.” My French teacher, who spoke beautiful English, always had to stop and remember which one to say.

  15. kenetha65 says:

    “alot” is not a word

  16. yesitis89 says:

    slayingacedia got in ahead of me there…
