What is a "chip"? What's this "American English" rubbish? American is what many people speak in America; it has a passing resemblance to English but is largely misunderstood by English-speaking people. See the example above where a chip in American is a crisp in English, and chips in Britain are "French Fries" or something similar in American. English is what must people speak in Great Britain, with a variety of regional accents; and some totally distinct languages like Welsh or Gaelic Australian "Strine" is what most speak in Australia. -- Graham J
