Seriously though, America alone is a centuries old melting pot of unique global and regional dialects. Dialects of a language born elsewhere.
Is it statistically probable that we have any exact definition of how English is spoken or interpreted that works with Internet Blo0gging?
IMHO: Blogging, discussion, etc... are how we determine what the masses get from our written word today. At least those of us not lucky enough to have authored a book lately.
Yes, the USA had lots of input from lots of different languages; so it contributes a goodly chunk to the mixture of differnt varieties that English comes in.
Statistically probable? I don't think statistics would be meaningful for that question. My own estimate is that it's an absolute certainty that we have no such definition.
