The American English is not English, imo. It's a quite different variant of
English, and should probably be called "American". Canadian
English has been heavily influenced by our proximity to the USA (do you
realize that a very large proportion of us live within 200KM of the
Canada/US border?) and as a result what we speak has elements of both
American and English, with some distinct Canadianisms as well!!

American is NOT conquering the world (not word!), it only thinks it is!


Cheers... Dallas
