Half American? You either are or you aren't, decided completely by whether you retain citizenship in the country.

..not sure what it is meant by half-american (ethnicity, citizenship?), but if you have double citizenships, you could call yourself half-wx and half-yz... 🙂

American English.

Not only because I speak it, but because I like the sound of it. But really, American English is full of subtle differences that people that aren't from the States can't hear.

A lot of Midwesterners can identify us Californians within a few sentences. People from coastal states are more likely to swear than people from landlocked states. You go into Oklahoma and drop F-bombs and people will look at you funny; in SoCal, once you've gone a day without 'em, people will pick up on the fact that it isn't a fluke and call you on it. Likewise, Californians have a habit of talking either very slowly or very fast. No middle ground.

Verily, then, my American English is of vastly more potents than the lilting tongue of the British.

I actually prefer both on given terms. I've never understood why American English makes the h silent in herb. It makes no sense to me. When I was little, I thought an 'erb' was a kind of herb instead of the bastardized American way of saying it. Clearly, I use American English, being a Texan (but not a rural Texan, so we've got a kind of general American accent going around here), and if I try to speak with a British accent, I sound like a gay cow with herpes of the vocal cords.

And the intellectual British accent is pretty hot... put some glasses on her and I'm all over that. Colloquial British, I can kind of do without. Australian ftw, though. "This is a knife." Hah. Go 80's steriotypes.

Within the states, I prefer the New York Jew accent. For comedic value.

British English, if only because it's the defacto standard for mocking one's self and others with equal malice and sarcasm.

I speak american english but I am partial to british english, expecially the way they spell certain words. Favorite versus Favourite

I speak american english. I don't really have a preference on which is cooler, though. They're both just......english. 🙂

Indeed.
Although, I hate how British people spell 'Favorite'. Its not 'Favourite', Darnit!
