<div>The term '''American English''' is not an accurate term, but it is not an [[oxymoron]] as some believe.<br />
<br />
It is considered amongst scholars of [[linguistics]] not to be a language in itself, but rather a [[dialect]] of the original language spoken in [[United Kingdom|Great Britain]]. In fact, American English consists of a number of dialects. Distinctive dialects of American English include those spoken in the South, New England, and New York City, to name only a few. Even these dialects can be broken down further into distinctive dialects, such as the English spoken in Brooklyn, or that spoken in Boston.<br />
<br />
The use of [[English]] in the [[United States]] was inherited as a result of British colonization of the country which at the time was partly a British colony. The first wave of English-speaking settlers arrived in North America in the 17th century. During that time, there were also speakers in North America of Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Swedish, Scots, Welsh, Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Finnish, as well as numerous Native American languages. To a certain extent, the American dialect spoken commonly throughout the USA comes from the intertwining of many of these languages and dialects.<br />
<br />
In many ways, compared to British English, American English differs in its phonology. Because of this, American English is regarded as a distorted version of proper British English. In contrast, British English is regarded as proper English.<br />

<div>===Editted Bad Example===<br />
Mardy Bum, in the dialect tha the Arctic Monkeys use, does not refer to a tramp at all, and in fact, the word bum is not used for tramp (I live here, and speak it.) In this case, it is simply a compound-phrase meaning a grumpy or sulky individual (a variation on the phrase uses a less family-friendly word for the posterior to get the same effect, albeit with less affection and more vehemence.) If you want a citation, I can vite you the lyrics of the song [[User:Stargrave|Stargrave]] 12:42, 21 March 2007 (EDT)<br />
