Why are Indian kids speaking in American accent and using British spelling?

Well I can bet everyone here has mixed US and UK spelling one time or other. Just analyze your behaviour. ;)

EN-IN is already becoming standard - for example, Electronic Arts, Microsoft (Vista and later), and some other big companies now provide a separate "EN-IN" section of their websites. You can actually choose an English (India) language in Windows Vista and 7 in the regional settings.

However, I suspect that if English (India) does become a globally recognized formal language with it's very own keyboard layout and a rigorous dictionary, at least one of our neighbours (guess who) will have a problem with it ;)

They are not speaking an American English , they are trying to speak in that tone , which essentially makes up Indian English :)

My elders used to say English originated from Britain so we should speak as they do, but the accent of British English is actually VERY different. Maybe we should stick to our kind of english .... somebody gonna geta hurt real bad :|
