Thanks to the Internet, English has become one of the most written, if not spoken, language in the world. And from the way things are going it can be safely assumed that the use of English is only going to increase in the years to come.
A few years ago, there were only two major varieties of English – the British and the American. Given the fact that most of the world has been a British colony at some point of time or another, it is not surprising that countries like India, south Africa etc. were predominantly using British English, and occasionally spicing it up with bits and pieces of the native language.
Thus, in addition to the two major varieties of English, a few other variants began to develop. But, then came computers, and the Internet, and things changed altogether.
