Do you like the British version of 'The Office' or the American version better?

Can't beat the British version, but the American version was a fairly good remake.

The Office is really funny and clever. It's the best show to watch if you're looking for a laugh.

Neither.  There are a number of different American dialects and a number of different British dialects.  Moreover, in some ways, (standard) American English is more "conservative" (has changed less from older forms of the language) than (standard--RP) British English.  Also, it wasn't the *British* who spread the language throughout the world; it was the *English*.  The Welsh and Scots (and Irish if you mean "British Isles" rather than "Great Britain") only started speaking English (rather than their original Celtic languages) under rule by England.

So the second answer obviously has no clue what he is talking about.  The British version was two seasons and the American version is on it's third season.\n\nI'm not sure why it was only 2 seasons.  I would imagine that they only needed to have two seasons to tell the story.  I don't want to spoil it for you, but after you watch the 2 seasons and the one hour special they made for the finale, you will see what I mean.  The story is wrapped up and doesn't need anything more.\n\nthe US version shifter more away format the story and focused more on the characters.  Because of this it allows them to keep the story going in new directions without the audience really caring.

I propose we change the version of english spoken in the US, and call it American. Being that we are a bigger and meaner country than England, we can bully them and say we speak proper english, but truth be told, English is from England.

I see many people saying they like both. yes, but the question was .. who do u like 'better'.. so it has a choice, well, mine is... I like Jerry better. though he is naughty at times, he is at his innocent best in most of the episodes and being tinnnyy..... he is very lovable. I like the way he walks shaking his tinyyyyy bum..!! cutie he is.

watch nothing but Benny Hill reruns non-stop for about a month...you have it in no time....Only half kidding..it's best to immerse yourself in the culture....I was stationed there for a number of years and it's amazing to me how Americans and English speak the same words but how we put them together can be such a puzzle?\nOi don't get your nickers in a twist its spot on mate!

Not sure...but it seems that Americans like Australian accents....don't think it's a good thing actually :/

All dialects of English are real English.\nIt's true that the accents are different.\nThe main difference between American and British dialects is the way they pronounce vowels.

American.\nI like both of them but American is just more fast paced.

American English is based on the Queen's English.  Both are considered English, and, in theory, a speaker of one could understand a speaker of the other.  The biggest difference exists in regional colloquialisms.  Slang varies from place to place more quickly in Britain than America, possibly due to the differences in country size and average population density.  Also, British English is generally considered more formal in appearance.\n\nPersonally, I like the sound and look of British English.\n\nAs to which is more difficult, it depends upon which one is most familiar with.  Brits and Europeans would likely be more comfortable with the British form.  Residents of South America, Mexico, and the United States would likely prefer American.  Canada would likely be a mixed batch, due to its proximity to the United States and its close ties with Britain

I watched the American version first so I got pretty scared. When I watched the Japanese version, I was aware of the plot already so I didn't get so surprised.  I guess the American version was better for me.

I agree that a large part of it is national pride.  I believe Oxbridge to be a better system than the US, simply because I went though it and enjoyed it more than I think I would have done in the US.  I'm sure Americans will say exactly the same thing the other way round.\n\nAmongst unbiased opinions (national newspaper rankings etc) there's little difference, and that's probably the most accurate assessment of the situation.
