Please tell me what leads you to think I can't write 'in' English.
What's wrong with "writing in English", Mr. Professor?
The post that was quoted here has been removedThere you go again, twisting words and intention; a thing you're an expert at!
The fact that there is 'true' English in the richness of having dialects that integrate, develop naturally, within the hemisphere of the small island is completely irrelevant to your analogy of effect American English has had globally. I agree that US English has had a massive effect, be it good or bad, worldwide; no contemporary person would agree. But you yet again changed the AGENDA from what is pure English TO AN EFFECT OF A DIFFERENT DIALECT UPON THE PLANET.
Why can you never stay with the subject matter?
As for the 'condescending' comment : WHY?
Why do you aways read the worst of what people post and TRY to find misdemeanour in it?
I find you incredibly annoying at times, and rhetorically incompetent. There's no need for put downs from your mighty stool!
What kind of discussion is this?
There is English, right?
Within the English language there are British English, American English, Indian English, Southafrican English, Jamaican English, and whatever English.
As long you spell or pronounce correctly in some English, it's English.
Why is this so hard to understand?
We have another English, I call it user-manual English ... 🙂
"At the rise of the hand by policeman, stop rapidly. Do not pass him by or otherwise disrespect him." It goes on to say, "When a passenger of the foot, hooves in sight, tootel the horn trumpet melodiously at first. If he still obstacles your passage, tootel him with vigor and express by word of mouth, warning, Hi! Hi!" And even more importantly, "Give big space to the festive dog that makes sport in roadway. Avoid entanglement of dog with wheel spokes." And finally it states, "Your safety is our main concern. Ride right and be safe. Instructables can be confusable."
And what about text-speak English?
"New users should endeavour to adopt the most bleeding edge contemporary written style possible. It is up to the users themselves to judge where they wish to place themselves along such spectrum of mangled English. The more conservative may opt to adopt Americanisms, despite hailing from Paisley, while those of a bolder hue may 4go any grmmtcl ba6 wotsoeva, promulg8ing there st8ments 10daciously thru an asin9 attchmnt 2 txt spk, udigg."

The post that was quoted here has been removedI didn't say there is a universal English dialect.
What Fabian just followed with is perfectly correct. There are; British, American etc. English langauges.
Does it follow suit that they are the same and inter-changeable in all walks?
No it does not!
You know perfectly well that the word 'fanny' is completely unacceptable as a word used daily in England -in fact, it is vulgar. So if it is no worse than butt, as YOU JUST WROTE, I challenge you to go home and tell your wife you scratch your fanny, teach your kids, in front of your wife that the word is acceptable, and to use it at school cos daddy said it's fine and acceptable English.
Yeah, right? Go on... tell me you will! ðŸ˜

I am not even going near it... as it is American BS bastardised English.
Elephants and trees have trunks, not cars.
Boots are for spare cargo.. such a shate in a pass pool of dung and a need to drag out with extra space..... hence Wellington's boots.
Don't quote American to me as English... it is far from....
Are you going to use whiskey as an excuse for the contradiction between this and your last post?
