GamerSuper Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 So we made our project (it's concerning GTA). But I'm not native English speaker. I gave this text to person who have been living in USA already for 7 years. All should be perfect but if there is a mistake.. text is very formal and important so there shouldn't be any mistakes. Any Americans, please PM me if you gonna help me, it's very important for us. The project is for XBox 360. Text is not long so it wouldn't take much time to check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GamerSuper Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 I didn't forget about England etc but i prefer American English, I think it's better. and i dont know who made it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cursed Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 American English and English English are the same, except the American's have put Z's where we would put S. It can't be more obvious that "English" is native to the English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmSixTeen Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I didn't forget about England etc but i prefer American English, I think it's better. and i dont know who made it up. Well, the English definitely didn't make up English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenaciousD. Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I didn't forget about England etc but i prefer American English, I think it's better. and i dont know who made it up. ENGLand ENGLish And they are basically the same, minus a few changes in meaning. Like chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transparanoia Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 American English and English English are the same, except the American's have put Z's where we would put S. It can't be more obvious that "English" is native to the English. Yeah, the Americans spell it "Englizh". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheeno Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 And adding unnecessary u's to words like color. They aren't unnecessary. To me anyway, "color" would be pronounced "kull-or", yet I spell it "colour" and pronounce it "kull-er". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxk Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 American slang is way f*cked up. want to is wanna. going to is gonna. S is Z. I'm pretty good at grammar... ...like most Indians. Ahh, pride of a nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCPD Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 American English isn’t better or worth it’s the same language with few differences in pronunciation and punctuations. Just as in all other English speaking countries. Each of them has their own accent and few minor differences. American pronunciation is a lot better though, since they pronounce every single letter in the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlitement Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 American slang is way f*cked up. want to is wanna. going to is gonna. That has nothing to do with slang. Anyway, just paste the thing here.. it's always better for several people to proofread a text. CCPD: English is far from having a phonemic orthography like Finnish or Serbian.

Woody510 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I can't believe you people are arguing about this again. England's english is better because of Austin Powers.....who was really an american...Therefore American English is better....i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottae Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 It's got English because it was 'developed' in England. Not rocket science, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as in all other English speaking countries. Each of them has their own accent and few minor differences. American pronunciation is a lot better though, since they pronounce every single letter in the word. Accepeted, even we Indians have a different accent. Indians in India speak differently from those in the US or UK. American slang is way f*cked up. want to is wanna. going to is gonna. That has nothing to do with slang those are actually two different points I was making. . Anyway, just paste the thing here.. it's always better for several people to proofread a text.

GamerSuper Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 damn, so much flood came from nothing. i prefer American "version" of english 'cause i like their pronounsation (orhow to spell this damn word). like their slang too. American slang is way f*cked up. want to is wanna. going to is gonna. but it's cool, man! so lets get back to the subject. who is gonna help me? of course his name will be put into credits etc it's very important for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is untrue. Sorry. <3 I meant American English sounds clearer. What the hell Finland or Serbia have even to do here. We talk about differences of English language in English speaking countries. Also, I think it turned into a debate topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3niX Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Well... I speak 'cockney' get your f*cking marshmellows round that. Bloody oath, no need to get yer knickers in a twist...alright mate? Aanyways, CCPD, I think he meant that Finnish and languages with the same origin are somewhat more clearer because every letter is pronounced. That also means they are easier to spell.

I have no idea why he started to talk about Finland and Serbia. I guess he misunderstood me. Somebody help out that poor guy in his project before this topic gets locked... I asked him to PM me the text, but it looks like he's gone now. Edited April 14, 2008 by CCPD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
