    Well, I would agree with them to say "American" instead of English. English is really the language that comes from England. If you speak the language of English but you live in America, you speak American. But, English and American (north american) are so similar, they are basically the same language. That is why Americans speak English, not American.

    No, but it kind of makes sense because there are so many differences between British English and American English. I usually specify American English.

    No, but I've heard people saying that.

    The only thing I can say is "Good for you" and add "..., moron" in my mind.
