english people

Members of the southern part of the United Kingdom that does not come from any form of Celtic background or origin (i.e. Scotland, Ireland or Wales).

These people have a tendancy to be smug and arrogant, as their parliament dictates over the other parts of the UK, and imposes taxation on resources native to Scotland like their oil found off the coast of Shetland...
Chancellor "...and here we have in this years budget of a further 2 pence per gallon of petrol, in order to screw the scottish people out of the last industry that the Tory government in the 80's has not killed off...This will benefit all English People as we have no resources left of our own"

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...

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!
