Posted in: Which is more popular in Japan: British English or American English? See in context
When I was travelling around the Philippines 10 or so years ago, a local said to me, 'Excuse me sir, your English isn't very good, are you German?' I said no, I'm from England. 'She said oh really? What language do you speak in England?'
Anyway as I was reading the article, you said you was a Brit, but you used a smattering of British English and American spelling with that ghastly middle English 'gotten' instead of 'got'.
I would never resort to picking up American words just to sound like an American if I was to live in Japan. I would respect my British English & its words & spelling and not use words that were banished three centuries ago.
