I guess, you have to seperate american and british english.
It seems to me, that the british english is generally more formal than the american. Correct me, when I´m wrong :-)
In school, we learned the british "oxford" english. But now, I´m mixing all sorts of english languages LOL I know, there are definitely differences between both, american and british.
@ Columbine: In this context, it would be very interesting to know how big this difference actually is. How is it for you to talk with Americans? I could imagine, that it´s maybe the same thing as if I spoke as German to an Austrian, isn´t it?
