Read WashingtonPost and NYTimes reports in ArE or BrE ?

American English.

Both examples you gave would be in American English, I believe. Even international editions.

I'd have to look at places like the Guardian for British English.

Thank you.

McTag please come here.

You read it in whatever version of English the writer chose to use.

When I'm reading the New York Times, I have no choice but to read it in American English, because that's what the writer chose to use. Likewise, when I read the Manchester Guardian, I have to read it in British English. ArE and BrE are ways of writing and spelling, not ways of reading.

Thank you, Oylok, I didn't really understand oristar's question the first time around, your answer clarifies it.

If English is a second language, you can choose which accent to use I guess (American or British) -- but you can't switch the word choices and spellings that make written English British or American.

What is this nonsense? What the hell is Oristar thinking of? Has he been at the pharmaceuticals? (I know he is some kind of medical student) Does he suppose that when an English person reads aloud an article from a US newspaper he or she puts on a sort of John Wayne accent (and says "sho'nuff" and "y'all" a lot)? And that conversely an American reading aloud an article from The Guardian goes like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins?

I don't believe very many people read newspaper articles out loud.
