Oh, dear. That was a mistake. I can ALREADY hear the Brits thinking: "Yanks never spoke English properly in the first place."

I don't think that, Nance. I, and many other Brits, just regard it as another different dialect.
Out schools ceased to teach English spellong or grammar about 20-30 years ago, so many of this generation cannot read or write it properly, if they have no sort of national pride to do anything about this, which many do not.
That aside, even in our tiny crowded group of islands, there are many different accents and dialects, some unintelligible to others.
As I migrated from the West Country to Yorkshire 30 years age, there are still some things that have to be explained to me, and others that locals cannot explain!
Good luck with the results.....
