Is there a difference between the Uk internet and the American innernet?
I keep hearing Americans referring to the innernet. Is this different to our internet?

It's just the American accent - they drop the T so it sounds like "the innernet", when in actually fact it's just their way of saying internet - like Peter Kay (and many people from Lancashire) call it T'internet.
The only other difference is that America doesn't have monopolising BT and it's shareholder goons refusing to invest in a decent infrastructure, it has competition, where as many of the UK rural areas are stuck being screwed over backwards by BT for a joke 1mbps internet whilst major towns are paying the same price for 50-100mbps. Really the government should step in and make BT charge based on the speed your getting - BT would soon get off their backsides and get fibre installed all throughout the country!

Certain laws will be different between the two countries, and we have different Internet Service Providers (companies that provide internet to your home) but for the most part it's 99.99% the same internets.

If the address begins www.// then it is the internet, which is international.
