Heh. The title sounds insulting...either that, or something a tourist would ask.
I like the kid's gear, though.
How come none of our (english-speakers') language games have this guy?

 

[JPdensetsu]

Now It's only out in Germany and Austria

I think it don't comes out in the UK.

Yes there is.
British English spells things like colour, centre, neighbour and mobile phone.
American English spells things like color, center, neighbor and cellphone.

There are distinct differences between american and british english.

Note - It's called the Union Flag - It should only ever be referred to as the Union Jack when flying aboard a ship.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we americans refer to it as "the Union Jack" because "the Union Flag" would make people here think of A: the Civil War, or B: a workers' union. "Union Jack" is unique.

PS - it's also because we (the populace in general) are stupid and we don't care about other countries or what they think or what they want. Sad and lame but true.
PPS - and also so we can use the sophisticated term "Union Jackoff"

for me that would still be a local dialect.
the queens english is, as per the oxford dictionary
if the folk across the pond(or up north) want to change a word or two then it doesn't class as a new language.

if there was a separate vertion for each region then there woud be stuff like this

Here hen warz ma bru?
translates as excuse me young lady, have yu seen my iron bru?

in the scottish version.
and i bet the value of my house if i wrote that in a english exam i would fail on all fronts

 

[stanleyopar2000]

I always thought
Center = ... The middle of something
Centre = A noun for a central area

Probably just the American English in-game getting to me.

@mxk100: For you, maybe but for the rest of the word, American English is different to English. Another few examples: Zee instead of Zed, chip instead of crisp, soccer instead of football, Aich instead of Haich etc.

The fact that the alphabet is pronounced differently makes it a completely different language

Not exactly a dialect. Also, there tends to be different uses of punctuation, hence Americans have different keyboards to us (they have '@' on top of the 2 D

English motherfucker. Do you speak it?

That's a bit ignorant. There's no such thing as "British English". There is English (as spoken in England) then there are bastard dialects around the world including what people speak in my country (Aus.E.) but I've learnt English.

The differences in English versions are huge - if you deny it, you're a fool. Most of them are in the way it's spoken (of course) but the written forms have been butchered as well. American and English really do verge on being different languages, not dialects. Good luck understanding a Yank if you've not been brought up without being bombarded with American culture. Most Yanks can't understand spoken English at a normal speed - the majority, granted but not at all.

Note - It's called the Union Flag - It should only ever be referred to as the Union Jack when flying aboard a ship.
It's the Union Jack, my friend. It's the naval flag as well as that of the nation of the combined constituent countries.

"Such use was given Parliamentary approval in 1908 when it was stated that "the Union Jack should be regarded as the National flag"."

Have you been watching the BBC or something, Mr Politically-correct? Starting a debate over the name of the flag - Ha!

I once had a teacher trying to tell me about the center/centre proper noun business but I refuted it and nwo that I'm older than single digits in years, I see that I'm correct and the slut was being subversive and trying to devolve English in Australia.

About the Aich and Haich; that's Catholic, not American. All of the molotov cocktail-throwers to your west mainly say Haaaich. Well, no - that's not true. The Irish say something like "Hech" and then "Aaa", "Je", Ke" - nice one fellas.

Me no speaky engrish. This game seems like fail. Then again all language teaching games either suck or you wont learn much.

I might have a union jack on the left.. But there wasn't an option for the St Andrews cross.
and us Scots probably use the worst version of english available.

dae yeh ken wit a mean?
