Resell is like 4060 above <| sep |> Was wondering when you ' d show up , Captain Obvious . <| sep |> That was a fucking bullshit call . <| sep |> Yes I ' ve heard American English is closer to older English than What is currently spoken in England . This is because it changed more slowly over in America . I ' ve also heard the Bostonian or New England accent is closest to the original , but upon looking up a source I came across this discussion . tsourcewebrctjurlved 0 ahUKEwjc 19 zBgMPQAhWm 8 YMKHccaAK 4 QFggrMAEusgAFQjCNGMDT 7 gGj 7 dBEf 2 EUMwKEDZGqLT 2 gsig 2 sDh 6 D 9 ZRzchDLnqbMMrwQOn a side note my grandpa is 100 % German and grew up speaking German as his primary language and his family had lived in American for 60 years before he was born . In the 1990 s he travelled to Germany and visited a lot of pubs . He said every time he spoke , in German , everyone in the pub would stop and listen to his story . His German was the German of the mid 1800 s when his ancestors went to America . His small town farming community of a few hundred or maybe thousand German speakers were too few to make noticeable changes to the language all the while the German spoken in Germany is changing quickly . He said he felt like Shakespeare in those pubs .
