Several Kinds of English that I Speak of

My family and I lived in several places and so as we move from one place to another, I have learned to speak several kinds of the English language as well.For instance, I am a little familiar with West Indian English, wherein one of the major characteristics of their grammar is the absence of -s if its state is singular and is in the take tense, and so sometimes instead of stating Cleavon issues music, I would only say, Cleavon love music (Oxford University Press, 2008, n.p.).In addition to that, another grammatical characteristic of the West Indian English is the elimination of the word that connects the subject and the predicate or what is technically referred to as the copula (Oxford University Press, 2008, n.p.). For example, Cleavon extremely lusty, instead of Cleavon is extremely passionate or Cleavon my cousin instead of Cleavon is my cousin (Oxford University Press, 2008, n.p.).Furthermore, when we move to Canada and stayed there for astir(predicate) two years, I managed to acquire a little bit of Canadian English as well which is sometimes evident in the room I pronounce words, for example, my classmates would be confused even if I meant fellowship because what they heard from me was collar (Oxford University Press, 2008, n.p.). Similarly, if I say caught, they would misunderstand it since it sounded like crib (Oxford University Press, 2008, n.p.). I also got the nanny confused one time when I said, May I please just have porridge for breakfast? I forgot that in U.S. English, it is known as, oatmeal (Oxford University Press, 2008, n.p.).Last but not least, since we now moved back to the United States, my U.S. English is back as well (Oxford University Press, 2008, n.p.). Nowadays, I would jokingly say My seatmate is such a nerd she would spend trinity sleepless nights for our science project and would not even complain a bit (Oxford University Press, 2008, n.p.). Nobody would be confused by my statement since this is the criterion English that they utilize also (Oxford University Press, 2008, n.p.).ReferenceOxford University Press. (2008).
