It never ceases to amaze me when people ask me if I speak English...no wait, American. Do I speak American? It took me awhile to get used to that comment - I was taken aback every time I heard it. But I have yet to explain that ENGLISH is the language - we ALL speak English...so I guess you could say that 'American' is our dialect?
Ps - most Europeans don't like how Americans speak - our accent and our choice of words sometimes. They grow up learning British-English, which is a little more uptight than ours, so they almost view us as the redneck, the red-headed step child!
