[quote=PINETREE,225520]With English getting popular in China, is there a distinction made between English as spoken by the English and English as spoken by the USAmericans.Examples - (a) short form for cannot - is pronounced as "cunt" by the English but as "kent" by USAMericans; (b) programme is spelt as such whilst the USAmerican spell it as "program".The Australians also pronounced their brand of English quite differently - eg "good day" is pronounced as "good daii". The HK people pronounce is as "kood tay". The HKgers generally speaks English English - "kood tay".And the Singaporeans - "good day" & "program" but spelt as "programme" !!So which brand of English are the Chinese picking up. Interesting to know.[/quote]
