Which english to use?

[HyperiousTheSun]

So there are many kinds of english out there. I think the most well known ones are US and UK.
I'm Australian so I'm used to using Australian english when I write.
I've notice that the in the insight my audience is mainly from Australia which makes sense because I write in Australian english and they would be more receptive to it. Not that most Australians would even care about what english they read.
I have a lot of people from Australia but not many from other places like UK and US as they only account for less than 20%. Back to the title, should I be using UK or US english to make it more friendly to these more populated countries?

I usually lump all English together as I’m not a native speaker. So when I find a new word or slang for a specific accent, I just learn it.

To answer your question, I think whichever is fine. But the best option would be to write in the way you’re most comfortable with.

For native English speakers, I don’t think it matters, even if you go full Aussie. But, it might be better to be slightly more ‘proper’ when writing, so it is easier for those still learning the language!

I don't think I'm too bad, I don't use slag in my writing and I try to use more common words.
However the discrepancy for my viewers makes me worried.
I guess I will just stick with what I'm most comfortable with.

Is it more than 80% Australian?

 

[BenJepheneT]

Personally, I use english that sounds cool. As long as my readers understand my intentions, it's all good. I can call a mobile phone a cell and use football instead of soccer in the same sentence.

 

[HyperiousTheSun]

Its 100% Australian, which means it uses standard english grammar and spelling. Which means it is a melting pot for all US and UK english.
The true difference is most noticeable when spoken.
The icon spoken Australian accent is mainly spoken by people the more you go north and west. As someone living up in the digital age and living in the south eastern coast of Australia, I am pretty much standardised in the sense of how I speak and write.

I mean the viewership, but that was nice to learn!

Ah its 70% australian, 12%US, 8%Uk and 10% other

 

[ElijahRyne]

That’s better than I thought it would be mines about, 75% U.S., 5% Canada, 3% Morocco, 3% Indonesia, and 14% elsewhere.

 

[DarklyReadsBooks]

I'm 80% U.S., 20% bullshit. And as for grammar... what's that?

 

[Deleted member 45782]

Use the one you like. Its pretty easy to understand. Its still the same written language even some things are a bit different.

Grammar is the important thing we have in sentences it includes punctuation, sentence structure that sort of thing.
you know what screw it do whatever you like I cant even be bothered to correct my post anymore

Bruv wha the fuck is Australian english? Do you use Mate and Kangaroo in your sentences?

That made me spit my fucking hot chocolate all over my moniter.

 

[RepresentingCaution]

Use what you like the best. Someone else will also appreciate it.

That is actually offensive to many people, but luckily for you I am not one of them.
to answer your question Australian english is the common language used in australia. While it is not the official language and Australia does not have an official language, the majority of people in Australia speak english.
The population of Australia like the US is made up of many english speaking backgrounds. the majority originate from Irish or British decent from the first colonial era to many migrants today. As you would expect over time, the language would mix and diverge as time progresses.
Going back to the topic of what it is essentially it is just what Australians use. Predominantly phonology, pronunciation, lexicon, idioms, grammar and spelling of Australian english is standardised and considered to be as one that is neutral and free of regional influences. That is what is called Australian english.
In no way is kangaroo used in everyday conversations. However, mate and buddy is used a lot.
Smartass comments and replies and comments are common.
Example 1, "How's your day been mate?" "Not bad."
Example 2, "hay buddy how much did you get that for?" "it wasn't cheap."
As you can see we often don't reply to things properly.
The issue with Australian english is not often the writing with our mix and max grammar and spelling its more to do with our spoken language.

Edit
No offense. This is how one of my co workers would reply.
Australian english example 3, "Bruv wha the fuck is Australian english?" "mate, aussie english is what I'm fucking speaking right now. You dipshit. Did you not go to school or something."

I dont care about being offensive. People can be overly sensitive cunts and I cant be worrying about if they take offense over my chosen phrasing when its just how I talk normally. I can't be changing myself for their sake. know what I mean?. Anyway, thats a good explanation. So Australians are kinda snarky, eh? I can understand that. Being a bit of a dick is a great thing. I'm a dick, and everyone loves me.

if you mean that literally then yeah I'd love you, if you meant that figuratively, then yeah I'd love you.

I think it’s fine using Australian English, since a very popular novel, He who fights monsters, is also written in Australian English which works well. Maybe explain a few words here and there but you’ll be fine with a bit practicing
