I read an article of Newsweek.
The title of the article was "Glo-bish", a new international English in the world.
Globish is an abbreviation of two words, "Global" and "English".

According to the article, Glo-bish is consisted from 1,500 words, and have a simple structure.

I think this tendency pictures vividly world's English situation.
Yes, I'm sure that I'm using "Glo-bish"... a clumsy, and not a "real", but an "English".

That is interesting. In terms of communication it's great. It is interesting seeing people from America, Australia and other English sepaking languages. Often the corrections are completely different from mine. As I work for an American company though, I seem to be picking up a few American expressions as well....

I guess there are many difference between American English and Queen's English.

To tell the truth, I sometime miss the Queen English because I usually hear an American English.
