    True English.

    Leave American to Americans. Most of the books I want to read were written in England.

    True English, although we all speak American anyway.

    It's actually assumed that we already know basic English/American when we start (8th grade I believe)

    Yep English.
    Some years ago you lost points by saying or writing American English (Belgium).
    That changed now.
    They still teach the pure English though.
    And you can’t mix them up also.
    You either go American or UK style.

    I wish all of you Europeans would learn proper English. So much better than US English. Not to mention it makes you look smarter than you are.

    It is funny. I've had a Scottish teacher in secondary school, and a californian teacher in the academy. Later, by choice more than program I chose british english over american. Sorry to all americans, but I like the accents better. A lot more expressive.
