Oh I know, I also tried the "Peek" feature: used for home, work and my university (it was over a decade ago I graduated). It didn't move the needle. Very disturbing.
Btw, I'm in Europe, so all of the comments I saw were in English, as in American English, so I'm guessing us Europeans aren't getting the best of the US. This is not data, just an observation.
- EdwardDiego 12y ago> I saw were in English, as in American English Entirely off-topic, but what English variant is taught in Europe? I'm going to ask a German colleague to spell the word 'colour' I think.
- antr 12y agoBritish english. Colour vs color. Lift vs elevator. Single vs one-way. :)
- untog 12y agoAre you sure? When I was in Germany kids were learning American English. It might vary country to country.
- antr 12y agoI'm not saying this is 100% the case in every school. The school I went to was British English, for sure other schools teach in American English, as I'm sure there are plenty of Americans teaching around Europe. I'm just talking from experience/observation.
- toong 12y agoThey pick up American english from tv, British english in school. So it's more of a mix ...
- jeffreyrogers 12y agoI think it depends on the place. And a lot of it is learned outside of school through TV and the internet, which is primarily American English.
- kcole16 12y agoSeems to be British vocabulary and spelling, but spoken with an Americanized accent (due to pop culture).
- detaro 12y agoDepends. My teachers (in Germany) all used British English, but allowed both in tests (as long as you stayed somewhat consistent). For people who don't just learn English in school it obviously varies with the different influences and often is a wild mix.
