Wouldn't it be more ironic if I was writing in British English?

Anyway, American English is just better.

No, then you would be using the version from your own continent.

Britain is, for all intents and purposes, not part of Europe.

What accent do you speak English with Antonio (and the other continentals)?

Definitely American, with a few exceptions.

I'm very flattered that you consider me an intellectual, but, as a matter of fact, I did learn to properly speak English through American sources (not really pop culture though, but mostly a combination of this forum, NYT articles and Wikipedia). Had I relied on the French education system, I would be speaking horrendous British English rather than mostly-correct American English.

Besides, as Xahar noted, I have a direct connection with the United States and none with Britain. And I admire the former as a country much more than the latter.
