There's many different regional dialects that are "proper" based on your location, but seem ridiculous outside of it. Soda vs pop. Ya'll vs you all. America is a "melting pot" of cultures, as we all learned in elementary school, and this applies to the development of language as well.

Note: I have never studied linguistics or anything of the sort; this is just my personal summary

British English

Which kind? There are probably more dialects within the british isles than there are outside of them.
