Trying to debate that fact makes you look as unintelligent as the people who can't speak properly.

What a load of rubbish can you speak Mandarin no but Chinese are very clever but they dont speak much English. As to English in the USA you are even more offline they dont speak English there is has been downgraded to a poorer form of the language that purists don't recognise as English. It is referred to as American English but are Americans less intelligent ??- I certainly think not but, that is what you are saying if you are not spot in with your English originating in England ( the clue is in the words English and England) then you are not intelligent. By that measure you therefore are also not intelligent. I am afraid you are showing not only crass ignorance but a very high level of deficiency in your own intellect. English is very different amongst the youth many many of whom are highly intelligent in other ways but don't put grammar and spelling high on their list of things giving them self esteem they are more interested in social culture texting etc. You really will live a sad life if you think the only measure of intelligence is the calibre of English people write or speak. How you speak English does certainly not indicate any level of intelligence just attainment. I would prefer the colourful interesting dialects, miss wording, and incorrect grammar to some stuck up pompous screed of perfect English. I like diversity in people and language it is much more fun. This has now become a pain in the arris
