American English? American English?? What are you talking about?! It's just English!
Yeah right, Australian English is bad.

American English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

IT HAS ITS OWN WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE

I know English, Manglish (Malaysian English-slang-esque), Malay, French, a little bit of Cantonese, a little bit of Mandarin, and various other variants of English, such as American and Australian. I can vaguely understand Indonesian, too.*

American English would likely refer to the subtle differences that Americans speak compared to Canadian/British.

Like the fact Americans on the internet think I spell a word wrong, when Colour is the Canadian way to spell it, among other words.

Colour is how it's spelled in England.
As in, "My favourite colour is...".

That second sentance was redundant. It didn't need to be said.

So what if it is? It's still a minor difference.

Yes I am an attention *****.

I know how to speak a little bit of Mandarin and Cantonese - I know how to swear in Italian, but I don't consider that enough.

And I can understand Indonesian - it is very similar to Malay. Can't speak it, though.*

I think it becomes an issue when you're writing a national exam or a test.

That would depend on the country you are writing it in. But yes, it would.
