californian english

A type of English, per say, southern California natives use consisting of the words "like", "totally", "so", "ya know", "freakin'", “um”, and "oh my gosh/god/goodness"; the sentences we speak are usually seemingly run-on and often extremely exaggerated for effect. These words are typically accompanied with a hair flip for girls. We pretty much live up to our stereotypes, but that’s okay because Californians are rad <3
girl 1: oh. my. god. did you see that girl with like her fake hair extensions?
girl 2: yeah, oh my gosh, it's soooooooooooo freakin' ugly, like ew, gross, who would ever do that?
girl 1: I know right?! Let’s just go I can’t like handle this anymore
girl 2: yeah, let’s

american english

American English is a version of English that actually predates British English; when the colonists were sent over to America, the language essentially "froze" because of broken contact with the British island. The linguistical isolation that ensued caused the English language to split into two main dialects: American and British English.

Contrary to popular belief, American English is not ebonic slang and it is very hard to definitively pin down American and British English, due to the fact that language constantly evolves. Slang does occasionally make its way into the long term lexicon, but only when spoken by a large percentage of the people. Therefore, it is very unlikely that gangsta speech or ebonics will ever be anything more than bastardized slang.
Words like 'fall' and 'autumn' mean the same thing, but one word is actually older than the other, and is in more common usage due to the isolation caused by the

Queens English

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

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.
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!

Dude, you have an ivy league 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.
