"British English" changed and stopped pronouncing Rs later, so by your weird logic, it should be "English" and "British English" this is honestly a point in favor of "Queen's English", isn't it? Americans kept the common vernacular while the Brits later tried imitating the airy noble accent which became what we think of a English accent, right? anyway "English" and "American English" is just bad --- You shine, and make others shine just by being near them. <cite>NFUN posted [p:943451326] in Do 'claws'...
