Rather "var" is a gateway drug toward "real" type inferencing, of which var is but a tiny cigarette to the greater crack mountain!

All the other English variations are quite simply colonial dialects. If you want to learn English why not learn the English way? Why not learn English spellings?
If later you decide you want to sound like an American. You simply have to practice
speaking with a large potato in your mouth (that usually does the trick)!

English does not distinguish between "w" and "wh" so that "Wales/wails" sounds the same as "whales".
Therefore, learn Scottish English!

LOL! Sorry pal, but US English is the one true English. Americans are known for taking something good and making it better. Take Mexican and Chinese food for example.

You're both wrong.

Well, English started out as a rather typical "old" West Germanic language, and then became a rather mutant Anglo-Frisian language, through being thoroughly exposed to Old Norse first and Old Norman French second. However, the point at which it started to actually become a conlang was when British grammarians started to for some reason think that English should operate like Latin, and then began just arbitrarily dictating "rules" of how one should "speak correctly" for such.

It should be mentioned American prescriptivists got into the game as well and are unfortunately still in it.
