I use British English, and often I think I might be combining it with American vocabulary too much, but then pics like OP remind me that my vocabulary is British as well.
Except for truck.
In school we were sometimes made aware of the differences between American and British English, but not much emphasis was put on it. We were told, however, to always stick to either one and don't mix. Of course that's exactly what I've done since then. When I have to look something up, I usually decide to use the American version, though. Because I feel American English is more ubiquitous and more standard, it seems more normal to me.
Do you consciously use either British or American English?

Here is the Euro English Vocab list.
Most speakers of a foreign language subconsciously add characteristics from their native language to their L2. Becuase english is such a widely spoken language in the EU, the collective language "mix-ups" by English L2 speakers means that these patterns reinfoce themselves.

EU english speakers by country
Euro english includes very small changes in vocabulary and grammar that are not incorrect, but uncommon among native english speakers.
This phenomenon (substratum influence on widely spokem second languages) happens anywhere in which a large percentage of a population speaks another language as L2. This occurs in all languages, not just English.
I have heard that Russians can tell a central asian who learned Russian as a second language from a native Russian speaker. Again, this isn't a bad thing, but merely a new development in a language.
