I feel a sudden urge to dump some tea in a harbour. Too bad I live in the middle of the desert!

(Incidentally, anyone that knows even elementary school level history knows we didn't invent the English language.)

::rolls eyes::
Pour yourself another glass of sweet tea and chillax, everyone knows they only did that because they could get cheaper, smuggled tea from the Dutch, and weren't exactly going without tea as a result of ditching the East India Company's shipment.

Hmm don't know many people that think this. America also has no "official" language, so American English could be considered a language in it self, depending on where you live the same phrases can mean different things also spoken and spelled different. We are all mutts just a mash up of just about everything thats out there. We rid ourselves of the Kings English back in 1776.

Except that your you're still speaking a bastardized version of it today. :P

It's kind of funny though that you are attempting to fence off 'American English' as it's own thing, when it's simply one of thousands of regional dialects of the English language. Even within the borders of a single state of the Union, there are multiple accents and dialects. I'm not sure about whether the US Government has ever stated that English is the official language, however all governmental documents since 1776 have been written in English making it the de facto standard language for the USA, supported tacitly by the federal government since the US constitution was originally ratified and subsequently amended (in English).

Yes, I am being a pain in the neck, I hope you'll take this all with a pinch of salt since I am a permanent resident of the USA and have been for more than two decades of my life. I would hardly have chosen to live here if I felt any animosity towards the country.

P.S.
Whats this then? "English Language Unity Act of 2013" I believe that it was referred to committee after two readings...

...and also, more recently this - "English Language Unity Act of 2015"
