    This is rather uneducated bait - "The main threat that has emerged (for my language/culture) is that N-A English is already eating away at British-English and Australian-English, and without corrective action will eventually replace both. Make no mistake- our regions do not speak the same language and we do not share the same values (we all know this). But there are far more North-American-English speakers on the internet than B-E and A-E speakers- and this means language replacement/contamination "

    there is no such thing as "N-A" English. There's (very broadly) speaking American and Canadian English, and each of these has multiple dialects. We can easily confuse ourselves in our own countries if we want to, we don't need to DC travel.

    Sorry, I can't read that because of your accent. Can you please re-type that in "Australian"-English?

    This is what AI thinks Aussie's sound like:

    This here's some proper bog-standard rubbish - "The big worry that's popped up is that Yankee English is already chomping away at British-English and Aussie-English, and if we don't do somethin' about it, it'll end up takin' over the whole shebang. Don't get me wrong - our neck of the woods ain't chattin' in the same tongue, and we sure as heck don't see eye-to-eye on everything (that's a given). But there's heaps more North American English speakers online than there are in the land Down Under or back in Blighty - and that spells trouble for our lingo's future."
    As for that "N-A" English jazz, that's a load of hogwash. We've got American English and Canadian English, each with its own bushel of dialects. We could easily muddle ourselves up without even hoppin' on a plane to the States.
