Just a regular American
Are they separate languages yet? I would say no but since American English (through the widespread use of DVDs and other media) is now English and British English has now been relegated to dialect or offshoot.
I disagree. When was the last time you were formally asked if you spoke "American English" to establish your first language? My guess is never.
American English, a corruption of the pure form, will always be the offshort in the scheme of things.
But look on the bright side. If it weren't for us, you'd be speaking French. Perish the thought, eh.
Uhh ... if it wasn't for us you would be speaking German!
