Hi Mike

>Excuse me, but is it not redundant to use the phrase English English? I'd bet the shortform EE will become a problem too as it's likely to lead to "EE English". Certainly there's only a need to specify the country with other forms of English, such as American English, Canadian English, Australian English?

In a perfect world, yes, But if I just say to a trans-Atlantican, "English", he might assume I mean "English like what me speakum", in his addled, R-rolling, "ow" mispronouncing brain. I could say Brit-speak but that covers a gamut of dialects/accents wider than the gap betrween our land masses, and in any case, would make it sound as if WE were the abberant ones :-)

Redundancy in the above tautological sentence. Using extra, superfluous words, in addition, more than you need
