    So today a mate of mine posted this on Facebook:
    FB_IMG_1554408023069.jpg
    Without wanting to discuss the content, my bone of contention with him was the use of "good" as opposed to "well" in the heading. I reckoned that was "American" English as opposed to the "Queens English". @Callumity being the "language/grammar" Nazi :p am I just being pedantic, or do I have a point? His point coming from one of his English friends was this:

    " I don't know. America is a BIG place.
    So I would expect differences between the various areas of America.
    And, of course, they do have many differences from our English.
    Heh heh, they are a DIFFERENT people!"

    Opinions?
