Tell you what, that Barrie Rhodes needs to go to school too -
"Englishes" is not "English" :-)
Whilst I agree there are many dialects and many "right ways" (or
acceptable) to speak/write the language, there are still norms to be
adhered to just the same. It is an international version that applies
here as it is an international forum - only SOME Yanks, believe they
*are* "the world"!! After all they call the spin or "side" put on a
ball, particularly a pool or billiard ball as "English"!!
