*Sigh* Do I have to explain everything? Northern Ireland Ah okay. JSYK, I have NEVER heard the term "NI" for "Northern Ireland" in my life, so it must not be a common term in the USA:P.

I live in England, and do not consider it in line with British English. We say 'A week on Saturday' here. I say "next Saturday". I thought everybody did, these new ways of saying it are mind-boggling:S:P. We do sometimes say that here too.

No, we speak the original form of English. You have the odd one that changed from it's roots.

Right, of course. Sure. Maybe we should talk about an even more changed language, American English I think that English is basically a badly pronounced merging of a whole pile of other languages

Thats a mater of opponion Merging of other languages, yes, but no more so than Irish or English. Misprounced, depends on where you are. In NY or the south, yes, In AZ where I live no. Badly used and spoken. Deffently. Though I do like british english. And I find it vary ammusing that my 9 year cousin had a british accent.

Yeah, it really depends on who you talk to. Of the people I've talked to and can stereotype effectively, some (public-schoolers ) fail to pronunce many words properly (spellcheck, stop telling me that "pronunce" is misspelled. It isn't, so shut up! ), while a few (mainly certain homeschoolers) painstakingly pronunce everything absolutely perfectly, sometimes even to the point of awkwardness. A few even use "old" (i.e. middle) English in normal conversation.

Well, American English is easier to pronounce in some cases. It's confusing for English people though. However sensible it may seem, I cannot make myself spell grey 'gray'.
