Hola a todos!
(Hi everybody)

I am from south america, my mothers language is the spanish.

I think nowdays the american english is like the latin in the Roman Empire epoch
(everybody or almost everybody hates the romans, but everybody spoke in latin).

I think also the "standard universal english" used in the world is not the
"american english" nor the "british english", it is different.

Having these thoughts in mind I suppose the better aproach is to use this sort of
english: the pseudo-language used internationally.
