In America alone, there are so many different varieties of English that if someone from the south were to go to Boston, for example, there would be much confusion. Hell, I have a hard time following what some of the chaps from Louisiana are saying and they're only one state over!
In light of this, you can't really say that one form of English is more correct than another. To do that would mean that you would have to try to keep the language from evolving ... but that won't happen. Latin is a dead language now because grammarians refused to let it evolve ... even though it did.
ShankS ... damn. You know me so well.
