English in its Protean forms

Tue, 10/13/2026 - 11:24am

An interesting angle! As I remember after the 1917 Revolution, a Soviet conference of English Language teachers decided to adopt American English because the "King's English" was a class dialect. It was and still is! Personally I would recommend Scots, Welsh or Irish forms - more musical and class neutral. Hell, even Aussie and Kiwi  or Doon School Indian English!åç
