Oh, I forgot to mention. If national variations of English weren't bad enough, then there's the whole idea of regional and local dialect anomalies.

For example, a fair portion of the U.S. speaks some form of English, but the Southern United States typically adds a drawl and additional informal speech.

In my home state of Illinois, people in Chicago speak way differently than in the suburbs, typically speaking faster and with mroe attitude, and in the coutnry with my grandparents, there's even more differences, with most people pronouncing things differently. For an example, my grandmother pronounces "wash" as "warsh".
