That’s-a interesting! September 24, 2013

Ever wondered what the difference is between The English Language and American English?

The English language is a West Germanic Language that was first spoken in early medieval England.  It was brought to the eastern coast (Great Britain) by Germanic settlers. Some of the English words are constructed on the basis of roots of the Latin language. The United Kingdom is the second country with largest English speaking population. With the United States being the first.

Speaking of the United States; American English is a set of dialects of the English language used mostly in the United States. The use of English in the United States is a result of English colonization. English-speaking settlers arriving to North America. First, during the 17th century. Followed by further migrations in the 18th and 19th centuries. Since then, English has dominated the United States. Although, the United States has no official language.

Taking from the famous Italian  “Mamma mia, that’s-a spicy meat ball-a!” commercial,– which most people believe to be a pasta commercial (It was actually an Alka-Seltzer commercial) — That’s-a interesting!

Compliments of Wikipedia….

Another interesting fact: In Spanish and German, they capitalize the word “you.” In English, we capitalize “I.” But that’s-a whole other story!
