British. Though I find myself saying ‘gotten’ at times and I can’t think of an alternative.

And then I use some Indian English words like ‘brinjal’ for eggplant/aubergine. Because Indian English is a vibe/dialect/thing.

As an American I use almost entirely American spelling. One exception I have is I like using grey more than gray.

Neither, I use Canadian spellings 99% of the time (colour, jail, etc.) and American spellings 1% of the time (defense).

Canadian spellings are mostly British spellings.

True, I guess. But there are a couple of different spellings, although I think those are often on words like jail/gaol where the American spelling has also become more common in the UK now.

I guess I'm more British spellings with American grammar, with a couple of exceptions...?

Ain't Jail just an English word? I am American and use Jail. Canada uses a mix of British and American with an occasional 'aboot' thrown into the pot

Both just because in Italian school they teach us British English, so I didn't knew some English words actually had a British and an American version
