BTW, at school (in Germany in the 80's) we learned some American English, but mostly British.
Originally posted by NordlysI don't think English is that different...to be divided into American English and British English. All I know of is the 'er, re'.

Originally posted by CenterNutWhat statements? Do you mean "I would believe that it is an international testing system for the English language."? In that case, let me refer to that webpage: "The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is an internationally owned and globally recognised direct English language assessment of the highest quality and integrity readily available throughout the world." It doesn't say anything about "International English", but it does say that it is internationally owned, which would explain the "International" in the name.

I did google myself and found Worldwidewords, too. I don't see how that backs up your claim, though. It says "Michael Quinion writes about international English from a British viewpoint". Note that it says "international English", not "International English". So it just seems to be a page about English in different parts of the world. The second link is a review of "The New Oxford American Dictionary". So what? I can't see that it says anything about "International English". I didn't see any other pages about "International English" either, although I have to admit that I was too lazy to search very long. But one would think that it would come up somewhere on the first page when googling if it was a language standard.

If you’re looking for a desk dictionary that covers the spectrum of American English, with a fair quantity of encyclopaedic information and illustration thrown in, you could do a lot worse.
American english is International english. And most dominant version of the english language worldwide.
Here is a book about it

Originally posted by CenterNutYeah, I "heard" you, but can you back it up? In the quote from the review, "International English" is not mentioned at all, so I don't see the relevance of the quote. The book is about "international English style". No mention of "International English" either. And if you'd read that page, you'd find that the book isn't about American English either. It's about things you have to consider if you write for an international audience.
Well Like I say "American English AKA International English"
Originally posted by CenterNutI find it very amusing that you obviously have strong feelings about the English language (American, International or British) yet allow your posts to be littered with spelling and grammatical errors.

You're stating There is no such thing as "american english" or "international english"?
