I went and did the test. The results are below - and they are surprising, actually. I might been taught some British English in language school, especially where spelling is considered, but I actually learned the language by watching Star Trek and other American sci-fi shows in original.

The results:

You may speak English, but no one would mistake you for an American.
In fact, your English has a distinctly British feel, and it's likely that there is at least some UK influence in how you talk.

You probably think American English sounds awfully silly. What's up with calling that purple vegetable an eggplant?
And as far as you're concerned, most people are missing some vowels with their English spelling!


Heh! It must be the influence of you British guys on the Internet. That, and the books you made me read. *g*

Your stories are always in good British English!We British do use American expressions picked up from TV shows.

Thanks, it's good to know that I haven't messed up the language entirely. Sorry for the late answer, LJ refused to mail me comments while under one of those attacks.
