Correct English

Correct English is term used by ignorant people to describe any local deviation in syntax, grammar and pronunciation throughout the wide variety of examples of the uses of the modern English Language. "Correct English" in fact, implies nothing of value, since English, as a language, is English and though I'm using English right now, I call it a fucking Elevator, not a Lift, because I am an American.

James: Hello, sir.

George: Thank you for using Correct English so I can understand you sir!

James: Thank you for bieng an ignorant asshole. It is a tangible example to me of the need for a higher quality of education in the world.

George: Your welcome?

American English

(1). American English:

The worst manifestation of an oblique bastard tongue.

Rather than turning heaven to hell, the process of Americanising English is like watching a horror movie sequel: the original was bad, but the next installment will be much worse.

(2). American English:

Soon to be renamed "Microsoftonese".

Seriously, has anyone ever managed to switch the Word spell-check to English-English?

NOTE: if you have

- obtained a PHD in a nerdy IT subject; or
- are addicted to Jolt Cola and computer games; or
- are 30+ years of age and still yet to experience a woman's touch

Then please, PLEASE, consider that question rhetorical.

(3). American English:

The bane of high school English teachers. Have you found anyone else that cares?

In the strictest sense, American English refers to the Americanised (or Americanized) spelling of English words. That is evident from the term itself, which consists of the noun "English" qualified by the adjectival "American". What most of these people have failed to realise is that "Americanisms", or distinctly American slang or vernacular is NOT American English. Who knows... maybe one day the corpus of Americanisms will be so great that one might refer to English American. Or has that day arrived?

Hmm...

estuary english

A hybrid of Recieved pronounciation(RP) and Southern English esp. London and surrounds. The speakers know exactly how to say the words correctly but choose not to do so,to sound more street cred. Quite often used by persons as Yuppies, or song artists Such as Lily Allen (who went to a public school) in "Smile"

So mate, vere i wos wiv me bo''l (bottle) ov wa'er givin' it some ov the owld RP when blah me dhan, the geezer were speakin Estuary English like meself duz.

Queen's english

Gramatically correct English. Plain, to the point, free of euphamisms, jargon, slang, inuendo, etc.

Everyone wants to speak the queen's english, it's just that some people can't.

There are some who deride the Queen's English as too exacting, too demanding, and accuse it of being a tool to discredit those who may have a valid point, but lack formal education, and are inarticulate, and use slang and incorrect grammar. The answer, of course, would be to give everyone a formal education, not to reject the proper pronounciation of words.

Dude, you have an education, you can pronounce "ignorant" correctly, so do it. It's downright insulting for a middle-class intellectual like yourself to go around mimicking the voice patterns of urban blacks on principle. It doesn't matter what color you or they are, it matters that you're the one with the college education and they're the ones who can hardly put food on their tables.

I say "ignant," not "ignorant." "Ignorant" is in the Queen's Englisn, and the Queen's English is a tool of the Man to keep us down! I didn't get no education, and I don't want to be posh or nuffin!

Forshizzle
Negro
Nizzy
Kizzy
Fershizzy

and other 'gangster' slang or anything Snoop Dawg may say.

George: Hello sir! How are you today?

Putting English On

The actual definition is a bit vague, and globally applicable. Although the pool usage may mean backspin, it actually can mean anything. It is comparable to the phrases "elbow grease" or "heat" from baseball, in the fact that it is a metaphor for a non-existent amplifier.

I had to put some english on my handgun to get it to fire.

I put some english on my car to get it the last mile.

I put some english on that punch, it knocked him cold.
