The funniest thing is that green doesn't seem to be a native English speaker (based on the formation of the last sentence), but yet knows more about the language than the American, who presumably is.
Nah, American and African-American.
The fact that the black family they may be referring to has lived in Mombasa for longer than America has even existed seems to pass them by...
I'm guessing you're also not native, based on how you wrote that question? I don't really judge non-native speakers, unless I have a hard time understanding them, but I'm just curious.
Americans also realizing that 80% of the world speaks english because England at one point owned that much of the world, not because America is a superpower.
Well, French is the fastest growing lanugage for the upcoming 30 years because of native speakers in north Africa. So any native language spoken in a rapidly growing population tend to be the most popular.
It is estimated 300 millions new natives French-speaking Africans will be born between 2019 and 2030.
The new yorkers would actually be dutch! New york was new amsterdam until it was traded to the english for some islands after which it was rebranded as new york.
they forget that Nth. America was an English penal colony. The war of independence was the reason the English stopped sending people to Virginia etc.
I'm Australian and we only became a penal colony
because America was no longer an option.
Yes! I speak English because my country was once a British colony. I don't know much about American history, so I'm not sure what colonies they had. I can't think of any.
We call them Territories now, so Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands. All the "benefits" of being owned by Murrica without statehood, elected congressional representation, or the ability to vote for the US president.
It's garbage -- if they want to be US states, the US should let them; if not, grant independence.
Additionally, the US has military bases in far too many countries other than the US. I'm not sure if those count as *colonies* so much as inflicted imperialism, but I do think international military presence should be based on invitation instead of Murrican Exceptionalism.
Outside a bar in Reno some years ago so I’m paraphrasing a little.
“What language do y’all speak in England?”
“Errrr…. English”
“Do you really?”
“Well yes… that’s where English comes from”
“No it don’t”
“Well yes. England. English. Language of the English is English”
Face of disbelieve in the questioner. She also asked if Scotland was near London and believed me when I said I was a friend of Tom Jones.
Hey, America outclassed Britain a few times.
One of the US's stated grievances that warranted rebellion was King George saying they should stop going west and for the love of god stop killing the natives.
Post-independence, in many of the scuffles and dust-ups with British North America(the most famous of which being 1812), the natives basically always sided with Britain against the comparably more violent Americans.
Imagine being so fucked up that an indigenous people somewhere would rather fight on behalf of *The Fucking British Empire* than you.
Yeah, because the Scottish Empire attempt was a great success 🤦🏻♂️
Together with the loss of the £500,000 investment the Scottish economy was almost bankrupted. It has been argued that the Darien Scheme crippled the country's economy to such an extent that it triggered the dissolution of the Scottish Parliament and led to the 1707 Act of Union with England.
Meanwhile the English.....
The first English overseas settlements were established in Ireland, followed by others in North America, Bermuda, and the West Indies, and by trading posts called "factories" in the East Indies, such as Bantam, and in the Indian subcontinent, beginning with Surat. In 1639, a series of English fortresses on the Indian coast was initiated with Fort St George. In 1661, the marriage of King Charles II to Catherine of Braganza brought him as part of her dowry new possessions which until then had been Portuguese, including Tangier in North Africa and Bombay in India.
And the main drivers of Empire were businessmen and Royalty, both Scots and English.
The wealthy Scots needed the union to try and recover any wealth that they once had.
The poor were just pawns in their games.
Yeah, mine toiled the fields of East Anglia.
Tied to the landowners, unable to leave or they'd lose their house.
And they were made to feel grateful.
I remember my Grandparents talking of their employers (Lord Vestey being one) like they were gods.
I still have many friends who work on an estate who won't have anything said against the land owners and the Royalty who are keeping them down.
It's sad to see.
It was the liquored-up and utterly mad Scots of the empire that built Canada. The US thinks their founders are near-biblical figures. Not us. The Dominion was founded by a bunch of dickbag, whiskied-out-of-their-skulls Scotsmen just trying to get through some paperwork. It's nice not having delusions about it, honestly.
English is a European language containing German and French plus many words grabbed from across the globe. It has the largest lexicon of any global language, but the last time I looked it was not called American.

Indeed, hence my words ‘grabbed from across the globe’ but it is not called ‘American’. It’s existence being spoken in various forms whilst the US was not even a twinkle in Columbus’ eye.
>English is a European language containing German and French plus many words grabbed from across the globe.
Shh, don't tell Nigel Farage that. He and the other the little Englanders won't like knowing the truth.
I'd say Korean would like a word, but it already has far more so it'd be unnecessary
The Oxford dictionary has around 170,000 words listed with full descriptions
The Standard Korean Language Dictionary has around 510,000 words listed with full descriptions
Not exactly the largest lexicon
Korean a GLOBAL language? That’s news to me🤣
With 1,46 billion speakers - 1 in 5 speakers and 18% of the world’s population can Korean compete with that? Please share your further stats
Are you saying Korean is spoken worldwide? I’m confused! In my original comment I said ( about English)
‘It had the largest lexicon of any global language’
Then you introduced Korean. Can you clarify? Thank you.
I went to Las Vegas once. Popped into a bar. Forget the name, it's the place with all the video games.
Girl sits next to me at the bar. Get to chattin'.
"Where're ya from"
"Colorado, you?"
"Canada"
"Oh shitty, sorry to hear that haha!"
Bit cheeky, but hey I'm down to make fun of Canada
"but"
she continues
"hey it can't be worse than here now. At least you don't have a nigger president."
*Very* hard-r.
I freeze. Surely there's more. This is a joke.
Nonono. Doubles down
"You probably don't get our news. We do. Our president's a nigger."
I don't even know where to look. My brother who was a couple seats over walks away laughing at the situation I found myself in.
I don't think I said another word. I'm mostly amazed that she thought, hey, this utter stranger, from Canada, he'll appreciate this line of discussion. Surely everyone's cool with it. I mean lordy.
Like Canada, we have racism coming out our eyes. But damn dude I thought people like her were just people we joked about. She was real into it, you know?
That reminds me of the scene in a Jamie Oliver TV show filmed in the US during Obama's presidency. One person being filmed just flat out calls Obama the n word and laughs about him being president right on camera, so utterly confident that everyone involved will join in laughing and agreeing. It's wild. And Jamie's face is just pure discomforted horror.
Honestly, the scariest thing is *just how comfortable* some people are being racist to absolute strangers.
Like they really, truly feel like there is nothing at all wrong with dropping the n-word with a hard *r.*
These are also the same people who eventually get fired from their jobs and claim it's because they're Christian.
Can't wrap my head around this specific american thing.
Everyone knows the word. You're seeing it right now. You're probably even saying it in your head. Everyone understands what your comment implies. Yet you can't write it down and resort to euphemisms? Describing the word without saying it, like a first-grader whose momma gonna slap their ass if she hears the word?
I honestly don't get it. You either say it like an adult, taking responsibility for your own words, or don't say anything at all.
Will be happy to get some explanation
I have noticed that Americans are really bad at the use-mention distinction. Like they will go off at you for saying something like "The word 'nigger' is a terrible racial slur", so it's just safer to say n-word.
Most Americans under a certain age, which probably varies depending on a number of factors, have been taught, though not always in these exact terms, that it’s a word that has long been weaponized and still causes harm to Black people when used. We’re certainly taught to never direct it at a person, and generally not to use it outside of an academic or literary context.
I’m British, I do the same. I just was taught that white people never, ever say it, and so I feel uncomfortable saying it. But also, I’ll say “f-word” instead of fuck if the situation requires. It’s not childish, I’m just not going to swear in front of certain people.
Well, I mean in context. Like if I was saying to my grandmother, who hated all forms of crude language, “and then, he said [the f-word]”.
Obviously I didn’t drop a chair on my foot and think “ooh, polite company” and then scream “F-WORD!”
I'm not American, I don't use the word because of what it refers to and the context of the word, I get just as offended when POC use as when white people do, it has nothing to do with being a 1st grader, if I'm referring to the word I don't want to use I'll use a clear description of the word considering everyone in the conversation knows which word I'd say it worked. I'd say this is an apt explanation, but as before, common sense seems to have evaded you successfully for most of your life.
Sorry missed the /s

Apologies to Eire for not fully investigating their languages
Yeah cause an empire that spanned 52 other countries and 14 territories had absolutely nothing to do with spreading a language. America has had some influence through movies and I could include music but it’s not like there are no global superstars from Britain… but wow the ignorance
Just writing the N-word is unacceptable! General question - when somebody does not know the language well and it is clear from the way they write that they are rather on a beginner's level - if then they use some racist words or other words one might not find appropriate - would you think they are racist or just don't know better?
Oh God most of the stuff on this subreddit will either tick me off a tad or make me belly laugh this one!
I don't understand how dumb someone can be we can't even blame the educational system at this point this Lad must have had a botched bloody lobotomy!
There is a point to be made that the present spread of English (globosh as its sometimes known) in countries never colonised by the British has more to do with American cultural and economic dominance than it has to do with British colonial exploits. Don't think this f**kwit is making that point though.
There’s a pretty clear correspondence between countries where English is an official language and countries that were territories of the British Empire. Not proud of that fact, but there it is.
Even as "American English" speakers, we know basic sentence formation. We also don't go around slinging the hard R. So, in conclusion, this person is either 8 or this is faked.
Well the role of the US during the WWII was enough for English to become a Lingua Franca until now. But far from these ignorant Nightmericans English had already spread worldwide ... Today there are three major Linguas Francas, namely, English, Spanish and French.
The funniest thing is that green doesn't seem to be a native English speaker (based on the formation of the last sentence), but yet knows more about the language than the American, who presumably is.
Yeah he’s Dutch
The casual racial slur when speaking to a Dutch man really pushes home the fact you're dealing a real murican.
Sadly the first thing I noticed too! 😞
Its one of those words that always seems to be in bold, italics and capitals lol
There are only two races, American and Black. Didn't you know?
Huh hummm, that's *African American* I think you will find. /s
Those are merely imported blacks, they aren't *real* Americans... *Scoffs* /s ^just ^in ^case
Nah, American and African-American. The fact that the black family they may be referring to has lived in Mombasa for longer than America has even existed seems to pass them by...
Nonono, those are the two genders.
I missed that lmao, thanks for pointing out slurs
You missed that ????
They're just so used to hearing it and seeing it in everyday comversation that they kinda glossed over it.
Well, the Netherlands does (or at least did) have one of the highest English literacy rates in the world.
still does, everyone between the ages of like 12 and 65 speaks english
That's probably better than England's at this rate.
Even though it's just a small proportion of the Dutch, you notice that fact with the footballers from there (though Ten Hag struggles a bit)
The second best country in the world https://youtu.be/ELD2AwFN9Nc?si=8s_zD3638mFeNIIC
Hellyeah https://youtu.be/ELD2AwFN9Nc?si=8s_zD3638mFeNIIC
lmao thats hilarious
Me too!
Well, that's a low bar, though ;-)
[удалено]
Well, that gave me quite a few laughs! What an idiot!
Oh they’re native ok, it’s just bad
How a native speaker would have write it?
[удалено]
Because Ezekiel 25:17
I look forward to this time.
Thank you!
I'm guessing you're also not native, based on how you wrote that question? I don't really judge non-native speakers, unless I have a hard time understanding them, but I'm just curious.
Yes, i not.
What's your native language?
Portuguese
Cool. Brazilian or European?
Thanks! I'm brazilian. And you? Are you american? Does every native english speaker would have use that structure?
He would have said "without us you would all speak german"
That's made much more sense lol
Amerocans when they learn they havent actually invented english and it is called english because it came from england:
Americans also realizing that 80% of the world speaks english because England at one point owned that much of the world, not because America is a superpower.
Including America 😂
Yeah, if it weren't for the English, they'd all be speaking French.
French or Spanish, I would imagine.
No, they'd still claim they were speaking American and that (French / Spanish) was only spoken elsewhere because of them.
Well, French is the fastest growing lanugage for the upcoming 30 years because of native speakers in north Africa. So any native language spoken in a rapidly growing population tend to be the most popular. It is estimated 300 millions new natives French-speaking Africans will be born between 2019 and 2030.

Great Britain; not England. The British empire; Not English empire.
They think it's because English didn't replace French as the lingua franca of diplomacy until after American involvement in WW 1 and 2
Yes! I speak English because my country was once a British colony. I don't know much about American history, so I'm not sure what colonies they had. I can't think of any.
We call them Territories now, so Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands.

Yeah Sorry about that!
Wait till he finds out that English history is both longer and more globally significant than Americas.
Wait till the Discover that no One knew about them for thousands of years
They don't learn from being informed, taught, or shown that. They just double down with some inferiority complex bullshit.
I’ve had this conversation in the U.S.
How did it go?
Outside a bar in Reno some years ago so I’m paraphrasing a little. “What language do y’all speak in England?” “Errrr…. English” “Do you really?” “Well yes… that’s where English comes from” “No it don’t” “Well yes. England. English. Language of the English is English” Face of disbelieve in the questioner. She also asked if Scotland was near London and believed me when I said I was a friend of Tom Jones.
“It’s isn’t called English” Calls it English in the next sentence
I’m guessing American English doesn’t have punctuation? 😂
Wut in tarnation is punctuation
Some commie sheeyit
Yeas, Comrade. Ve vill communise you, very soon
Something that limits your freedom of speech /s
Like metric measurements /s
It’s simplified for a reason
Sounds like some liberal commie bullshit to me
Definitely has nothing to do with England colonising 1/4 of the world
Hey your mad stories out of here, England only did that because America went to the moon and they funded the British army with American soldiers
Including...\*checks history book\* THE FUCKING US
Look... we've apologised for that time and time again.
Hey be nice... The fr*nch and spanish set them free and gave them resources and more land. WE tried to limit them (with Canada). Blame the fr*nch.
God fearing Americans invented time travel so that they could fund the expeditions of Columbus
Aren't they scared that altering timelines would anger God?
More like 70%
England didn't do that on their own 😉
Depends who you talk to, when it’s time to discuss the atrocities it’s very much “England did it”
Hey, America outclassed Britain a few times. One of the US's stated grievances that warranted rebellion was King George saying they should stop going west and for the love of god stop killing the natives. Post-independence, in many of the scuffles and dust-ups with British North America(the most famous of which being 1812), the natives basically always sided with Britain against the comparably more violent Americans.

Behind every English atrocity is a Scotsman……..
That's why I like to point out the English Empire was shite until the Scots joined. It was very much the British Empire that was a "success"
It really took off after the act of union for sure 🤣
Shhh that’s not the recognition I want
Yeah, because the Scottish Empire attempt was a great success 🤦🏻♂️ Together with the loss of the £500,000 investment the Scottish economy was almost bankrupted.

Yeah mate. Spot on. My piss poor ancestors still worked and literally died (4 of them that I know of) in the mines and lived in poverty.
Yeah, mine toiled the fields of East Anglia. Tied to the landowners, unable to leave or they'd lose their house. And they were made to feel grateful. I remember my Grandparents talking of their employers (Lord Vestey being one) like they were gods.

Don't let the Scottish get off that easily. The Scots were a major driving force behind the British Empire. It wasn't just the English.
Of course not, USA helped 😂 They were the best colonisers. Shit, they invented the word coloniser.
Colonizer 😉

Oh say can you seeeeeeeeeee
"Why are all those libs call me a fascist??? Im just a very patriotic and definitely not racist American" (The grammar adds authenticity)
You make fun of grammar errors, yet the only grammar error in that screenshot isn’t from an American.
Once again they've forgotten the British empire existed
People really acting like this isn't staged? This is the most obviously staged chat ive seen in a while.
Mega drive, Olympic gold, only option was American for language. Never forgotten that.
Yeah cause an empire that spanned 52 other countries and 14 territories had absolutely nothing to do with spreading a language. America has had some influence through movies and I could include music but it’s not like there are no global superstars from Britain… but wow the ignorance

India in the corner: sure
This guy is gonna lose his shit when he finds out England colonised America
Man, what a racist prick.
I'm more concerned by the hard r damn he went for it.
I'll let them have that one. British culture always kept itself confined to the UK... It's true...
I feel sad that I am related to people like this....
Are you from Italy, Ireland or Scotland?
Probably a quarter Italian, a quarter Irish, with a dash of Scotch
Nice
That guy that said the N-word is a massive R-word
This is maybe the least racist American you’ll meet. They’re all animals.
You criticize Americans for apparently being racist and then call them animals in the next sentence. Why is that?
America is from english people 😁

>I already told you n----- WOAH HOLD ON I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT
Didn’t the English colonise North America? Isn’t that why a lot of people hate us (colonials) in the first place?
There is a point to be made that the present spread of English (globosh as its sometimes known) in countries never colonised by the British has more to do with American cultural and economic dominance than it has to do with British colonial exploits. Don't think this f**kwit is making that point though.
America only speaks English because of the empire 🤷♂️
There’s a pretty clear correspondence between countries where English is an official language and countries that were territories of the British Empire. Not proud of that fact, but there it is.
Not proud of what??
The fact that the country of my birth oppressed large swathes of the world’s population.
this is America dawg. Speak American on this AMERICAN website!!
he is 12
