      I want to say this looks like Black Country ‘as she is spake’ but I’m only guessing. I could do the Yorkshire above it, but this is just noise. (am from deep south - ‘ampshire)

        Potteries, although not very common to hear it these days. My granddad was the last person I knew that spoke like that, but that was some years ago.

    To be fair, a lot, but certainly not all of Americanisms are actually relics of the English spoken and written at the time of mass migration to Northern America. Language in many cases evolved more rapidly in Europe. In a related way, quite a bit of the ways in which Mexican Spanish differs from Spanish Spanish sounds very archaic to young Spanish ears, or so I’m told.

      That was utter claptrap made up by journalists to sell a few papers and has been completely disproved

    I remember seeing a web site where they had the British flag next to “English” and the American next to “English (Simplified)”

  There are a lot of subtle differences. That being said, they're mutually-intelligable. Even if you don't know the other variety, you can probably figure out just about everything from context.
