Your English is Totally Americanized

No doubt about it, you're a total red blooded American. Or at least you talk like one.
You probably learned your English in the good ole USA, and no one would dare mistake you for a Brit.

As far as you're concerned, "lift" is a verb. And you're not even sure what "bullocks" means.
And someone couldn't pay you enough to eat a courgette. That just sounds like a fancy french shoe to you!

Lol, thought so. Even though I'm not american.
I do know what "bullocks" means!

Unamericanised(lol i changed the 'z' for the 's' it sounds more right XD)

You may speak English, but no one would mistake you for an American.
In fact, your English has a distinctly British feel, and it's likely that there is at least some UK influence in how you talk.

You probably think American English sounds awfully silly. What's up with calling that purple vegetable an eggplant?
And as far as you're concerned, most people are missing some vowels with their English spelling!

well obviously as i am from Australia and 'most' of our English comes from 'England'

Hmmm... the way you speak English is very interesting. You sound like someone who grew up everywhere!
There is definitely an American influence on how you speak, but that may be just from television and movies.

It's hard to predict how you'll express yourself with language. You have a rich vocabulary.
If there's one thing for sure, it's that your way of speaking English is distinctly you.

So true! Nearly everyone I meet askes me what country I'm from!
