Me Bad English?

Oh believe me, if your English was bad we would point and laugh.

Besides, your hosting provider is probably American, and they cannot spell in English anyways.

Uh, as long as it isn't spoken (especially that bloody awful Cockney stuff), most Americans will understand it. Some words will be odd to them like spanner, lorry, boot (for trunk) but for the most part we do understand the basic written language. Spoken American English is a whole different story due to regional dialects and slag.

Spelling now - that is a whole different thing. Too many Americans can't spell even in their own dialect, let alone any other English. 'Murikans just get rid of all those extra vowels that have no meaning and are not pronounced. (Honor - Honour, color - colour, flavor - flavour). It's English, not French!!

Well Cockney can sometimes be a "foreign" language. For example:

Gawd, my dogs are barking, I'll be glad to get up the apples to Bedfordshire. But I'd better wash them plates first as I was on the trombone to a Tom earlier, she may be round and let me take her up the Garry. What a tin bath that will be.

Translation:
Oh my God, my feet hurt, I'll be glad to get upstairs to bed. But I'd better wash my feet first as I was on the telephone to a prostitute earlier, she may be round to let me have anal sex with her. What a laugh that will be.

Fortunately, having been brought up in South London, I speak it fluently.
