“The queen’s English isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.”

A lot of Americans do not realize how different the written and verbal form of the British’s English is. There are over 7 different dialects of English in the UK.

The grammar (verbs, nouns, present/past tense) can be different too. Example: nouns can be singular or plural in the queen’s language.
