there are actually a lot of countries that speak English, or at least have a lot of people who speak their native tongue and English.

Well, I am from Engalnd ^^  :D lol
and im from Liverpool.

People know Liverpool as a place with gangs and horrible acents, but, it depands on what area you're from.
E.g Say you're from Bootle, you'r acent is goning to be really slang and strong Liverpoodlian acent, but, if you're from say...Aigburth, you'r acent is not going to be so strong.

Im from Aigburth, but I have an American acent because
my mom is American.

I've never been to America, but I have herd a lot of things about it. lol ^^

If you're wondering what a Liverpoodlian acent is like, the best I can put it as..
Instead of saying "Where is my mom?" they'll say
"Wers me mum?"
Do u sort of understand?

Sorry if i confused you.  :o

ah, so is it like ron Weasley's accent from Harry Potter? I wanna visit Liverpool someday, my favorite author lives there, Brian Jacques...I didn't know about it's rep for gangs and stuff though

What the heck is a 'liverpoodlian'? Is that some kinda made up language? :-X :-X :-X :o :o :o

Nah, I'm kidding you, heh... mind now, 'accent' is spelt with TWO C's, not ONE.

Crap, now I'M beginning to sound posh, crap crap crap crap!!!

Again, slang-free english would be VERY nice...

Hi no Seijin

Admittedly, though, if it wasn't for slang, than languages might not exist.  Latin slang eventually turned into languages such as Spanish and Italian.

Anywho, sorry to remain slightly off topic, but I was curious as to how British schools taught about the American War for Independence.  I mean, American schools obviously teach it as a patroitic time, but what does modern day Britain think of it?  I'm a making any sense here? :-\

We haven't done that yet. I think we do it at some point but not in Year 9 (age 14).
I still can't believe you threw that perfectly good tea away :)

Sorry if i confused you, and sorry for the spelling mistake.  ???

A Liverpoodlian is'nt a made up language! lol ^^
If a person if from Liverpool, they are called a Liverpoodlian, like if you're from America you're called an American.
Do u understand, or did i confuse you more?  ???

MasterKeyX

I think i understand.

Anyway, i always wondered how British schools taught American History. Actually, do British school's teach History like WWII and WWI, or do they wait for awhile? After all, i learned about WWI, WWII, and the revolution all in one year.

I'm just glad there aren't any hard felings between the people in this forum from the different countried because of the revolutionary war...
