Talk:British English

Is American English more right than British English? Or vice versa?

It's called "English" so the version spoken in "England" is obviously the "right" one. Anything else is a dialect, and not pure english. Obviously there are dialects spoken in england, but they are not normally written, all writing is in "queen's english". -- Tango

On Wikipedia, both are accepted. If it is a page about somewhere where British English is used, you should write in British English. If it is a page about somewhere where American English is used, you should write in American English. For other articles you can write in whichever style you want.
