Finnish, English and Swedish.

I also studied French couple of years when I was in high school, but I don't remember much of it anymore.

Italian, obviously...

English, but I type and write it better than I make it sound...

Enough German to function for a few weeks and pick up women...

Enough Nederlands to pick up a hot dutch girl...

Enough Catalan to order dinner, go on a tapas hop and, of course, pick up a fine Barça babe...

Not quite. I'm a Brit living in the US and I know there are _many_ differences in grammar. I have an american accent, but I've retained my english sentence structure. People look at me strangly sometimes.

Here are just a few examples:

I've been educated in both, so I too have noticed some differences.

As for my own style, I'm not quite sure, but I believe it's a mixture of both... I've no problems using American vocabulary (and usually do as it's more convenient), but when it comes to grammar and sentence structure, well, that's more difficult to control. Luckily, most US teachers allow for both, or at least mine did.

Hell, when I first arrived in the states, I lost points on a chemistry final because I spelled aluminum (US spelling) as aluminium (rest of world spelling). I made him give me the points back after I showed him that the US spelling is wrong since aluminium was discovered and named by english chemist Sir Humphry Davy and it was Noah fucking Webster who arbitrarily renamed it. Oh the power that dictionary writers have over us.

In terms of speaking it's the same language, American people speak the English language. Ok there might be a few differences in grammar, but it's still English.
