Not so if you're American.

Exactly. American English is a dialect, just like Canadian French is a
dialect of French and Mexican Spanish is a dialect of Spanish.
Languages tend to develop in different directions when the people
speaking them are seperated by thousands of miles of ocean. No one
would argue that Australians also have a distinct dialect, or for that
matter that the denizens of Britain are seperated by geographical
dialects as well. Scots don't sound like Welsh, etc..

Most Europeans learn proper English. In three years of German at the
University, the 3 native Germans I studied under all sounded more
English than American when speaking English.
