American English & British English
Hi,
I'm just wondering how do you (native speakers) see / perceive someone who talk English, but in its mixed version. I mean that influence of American and British movies, Internet and other media cause that many of people learn both languages at the same time (american words, british words, tenses using) and they really don't recognise is it British or American version of English. They use them both.
Is it problem for you when you hear that kind of English?
Not British and not American, but its mixed version?
Let me know.
I'm the one who use the mixed version, hence my question

Anonymous Is it problem for you when you hear that kind of English? No, not in the least. I am American and listen to BBC a lot, so I hear the Queen's English so often that I sometimes use idiosyncratic features of that language.
