You're spot on, mate.

Holy Mackerel, I've had six American teachers in my Middle School days. In University I've had British, Canadian Indian, Singapore, British Nigerians, Cameroonian, and yes mate, Australian teachers.
So, what do you make of me English, mate?. Man, I can't figure it out myself. Holy Christ, what should I call me English?

"Vegetables salad" English is what I'm gonna call mine. LOL.

Thank god, It's a blessing that I've had teachers from all over, at least I'm able to tell the difference between British and American English.
