The king's english, as opposed to Americanized English. My father's family came from northern England--Nottinghamshire(western edge of Sherwood Forest). I've often wondered how their particular English accent sounded when they arrived in 1867. Just read an interesting book entitled "Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America". It describes the 4 areas of England that provided the 1st settlers in USA, & demonstrates how their traditions & language can still be observed & heard in New England, Pennsylvania region, Virginia area & the mountain settlers.

But practically speaking, English is a first language for the educated. The only difference is that it is British English and I noticed just yesterday Now, that raises an interesting point. I've pointed out in the past that American Spirit sometimes uses Briticisms in spelling, i.e., "behaviour" or "humour." More evidence that AS and Chinu are one and the same? Edit: Actually, I just went back and did a search. tonto spells behavior as "behavour" Could it be tonto, AS and Chinu are all one and the same person? <ggg>
