English as she is spoken (and sometimes written) in the US.

"English as She Is Spoke" is the common name of a 19th century book credited
to Josᅵ da Fonseca and Pedro Carolino, which was intended as a
Portuguese-English conversational guide or phrase book, but is regarded as a
classic source of unintentional humour.
