Do your country uses American English or British English or maybe it has it's own English?
:ablobcatbongo:

@mur2501 Officially we seem to learn British English at school. But American English has a lot of influence via TV and internet. I use a mix. I refuse to type 'centre' and 'litre', but I'll happily go for 'neighbour' and use a few British phrases. :P

For the rest about everybody here speaks Dutch, though. 🤪

@trinsec
Dutch is basically an illegitimate child of a German, British and French orgy :blobfoxupsidedown:

@mur2501 Nah, German and Dutch share the same Germanic ancestor. English is a bastard child of a Germanic and Romance (French in this case) language.

@mur2501 Funny image. But India itself also has its fair share of funny military images. Probably didn't get rid of the weird British habits when India became a sovereign country. ;)

@trinsec @mur2501 Knowing German and English certainly helps in understanding Dutch.

Bovendien is Nederlands toch het gemiddelde van Duits en Engels. Als bewijs hoef je alleen de artikelen te tellen. 😄
