Do you prefer American English or British English?

I personally prefer American English 'cause some of the words are adapted from British English and they made it to a simplified version such as colour (british) to color... well...it makes thing easier!

I prefer British english. I did some research and I'm no longer confused about the spelling difference.

i like the pure English which is surely from Britain.....
its Pronounce and Spelling is suitable for us as an Asian or Malaysian.
The use of  American English is kind of strange when we talk to each others who are come from different country .It`s also using lots of tongue rolling ........em0011

这里很多人都这样以为，一直重复这句话........可是事实往往不是你们想象的那样！

很多美国式的英语，如发‘r’音(rhotic)，class, plant,... 等读成 /~æ~/，一些不同的词汇如 fall = 秋天...... 这些才是”原本“的英语，被美国人的祖先带到美国去，在当地保留了下来，反而是后来英国本土的英语改变了，所以才有这些差异...

我很认同...
其实美国英语的发音和串字更像英文...
但我不喜欢美国英语的某些发音, 也不喜欢英国英语的某些发音
所以常常参着讲...
