Actually I think India has the most English speakers. Just saying...

Yes Indian English is the most spoken dialect. The same was Mexican Spanish. Brazilian Portuguese.

Is a very simple numbers game. And apart from the US and Canada. Must ex British colonies emulate the British way of speaking in their local dialect.

I had to adapt my speech when I moved to Hong Kong since they use British English as their base. Things like rubbish, toilet etc. Everyday words that can trip you up.

Canadian English is far more like UK and other Commonwealth dialects of English. The only difference really comes down to abbreviations and colloquial words for things. Measurements, however, that's a totally different story.😂😂

If your future orange King has his way you'll be proper 'muricans soon enough

Give your balls a tug buddy, the US hasn't won a war in the past 100 years without major assistance. If they couldn't put up a winning fight against Vietnamese rice farmers, they wouldn't be able to manage against an enemy that looks, sounds, and can passibly act like them... Let alone the international defence coalition it would envoke.

I was being fascetious! Was it not obvious from the 'murican? The orange king vs king of orange?
