Can I make another suggestion for this thread?  Everyone who posts on this thread stands to be corrected.  Agreed?  No hard feelings, okay, we all learn together.
Dear kailoonthedog, I think I get the gist of what you are trying to convey but I'm afraid it's not properly written there.

Anyone here wants to try and help our fellow forumer?

Americans don't even speak in proper English as well as grammar. I'm a Chinese and I speak Mandarin with grammatical errors. If I do, I will not be able to speak fast enough.

I don't think accent could be changed.  If you are English, you'll speak with an English accent but if you are an American, you'll speak with an American accent.
So the difference arises when it comes to written English too.

Germans who speaks English will have a German accent. However, American English and British English are more or less similar in grammar but their pronunciation differs for specific words such as labour and labor (my typo corrector (whatever its called) is American by the way).
