Trichromatic Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I use American English on computer. I don't like the red line below words while typing. Duh. But I use British English while writing on paper.
EnterTheVoid Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Don't care much for either but tell you what .. absolutely hate that bogan British accent when spoken in a high pitched voice :mad:
Sachinism Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 WTF I don't like spelling it this way, its too hard for me, let me drop some letters psshh
yoda Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 WTF I don't like spelling it this way, its too hard for me, let me drop some letters psshh Yes, Noah Webster (of Webster's dictionary fame) found English too hard, so he said let's drop a few letters. :hahaha:
zen Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Hinglish .... Tamatar (tam-aa-tar) sounds better than tomato (tuh-mey-toh) It's color not colour :hehe: neighbor not neighbour (hope I spelled the brit version correctly :P )

Mariyam Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I think it has a lot to do with the profession a person is in: A marketing/media/advertising professional would require Hinglish to be creative. Knowledge of local language will further help. An IT/tech/science professional will rely more on American English, as most of the IT clients are from the USA. Knowledge of Telugu will help interacting with other IT people. A medical person would prefer Mallu-English to talk with the nurses. A person practicing law/or someone who is a part of the pedagogy in India would prefer English English as our constitution, most of our laws are written in that language.
Holysmoke Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I type everything in English. Then my spellchecker corrects to American.
Texy Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 It depends on how intelligent you are' date=' I mean if you have an IQ similar to that of the average american then fair enough, you go use the bastardised version of english.[/quote'] if only English men would use some of that left over intelligence and cut their tea sipping jollywell conversations and focus more on satisfying their partners, we wouldn't be having so many unsatisfied british broads eagerly awaiting a lay as soon as they step through that baggage claim

achilles Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 British English. It is the language I follow and I've set it as my language on MS Office, Chrome, FF, FB, etc.
