No I'm not railing against the Brits I'm railing against the english. Considering all the twangy english dialects the Scottish probably pronounce words the most correct.

My point is the english call "trousers" 'pants' which is wrong.
They call "rolls" 'buns' which is wrong.

You asinine brainless moron.
a) your definitions make no sense, if you're railing against brits. the first two are even coherent with English usage.
b) Since the English language originates in Britain, and other English speaking countries took it from there, if there must be a determination of correct usage as that from a given area, then the Queen's English is the obvious choice for the dialect of reference, not some other local variant from who knows where.
c) If people from various places can be regarded as correct if they don't speak the standard dialect, why should folk from the home country be bound to keeping the proper language in its original pristine state?

3 ha-ha, I'm not English, but I will answer your question.
Because it is stupid to say:
I woke up at 7 AM, I decided to put on my skimpy undergarment worn under trousers, for breakfast I had a round thing like a sandwich and then I went to the building where I sit in the big room and work. On the to the building where I sit in the big room and work I've bought a magazine where all the local news are published... Savvy?

Henry Look at her, a prisoner of the gutter,
Condemned by every syllable she ever uttered.
By law she should be taken out and hung,
For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue.
Eliza Aaoooww! Henry imitating her Aaoooww!
Heaven's! What a noise!
This is what the British population,
Calls an elementary education. Pickering Oh,
Counsel, I think you picked a poor example. Henry Did I?
Hear them down in Soho square,
Dropping "h's" everywhere.
Speaking English anyway they like.
You sir, did you go to school?
Man Wadaya tike me for, a fool?
Henry No one taught him 'take' instead of 'tike!
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
This verbal class distinction, by now,
Should be antique. If you spoke as she does, sir,
Instead of the way you do,
Why, you might be selling flowers, too!
Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse,
Hear a Cornishman converse,
I'd rather hear a choir singing flat.
Chickens cackling in a barn Just like this one!
Eliza Garn! Henry I ask you, sir, what sort of word is that?
It's "Aoooow" and "Garn" that keep her in her place.
Not her wretched clothes and dirty face.
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?

An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him,
The moment he talks he makes some other
Englishman despise him.
One common language I'm afraid we'll never get.
Oh, why can't the English learn to set
A good example to people whose
English is painful to your ears?
The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears.
There even are places where English completely
disappears. In America, they haven't used it for years!
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
Norwegians learn Norwegian; the Greeks have taught their
Greek. In France every Frenchman knows
his language fro "A" to "Zed"
The French never care what they do, actually,
as long as they pronounce in properly.
Arabians learn Arabian with the speed of summer lightning.
And Hebrews learn it backwards,
which is absolutely frightening.
But use proper English you're regarded as a freak.
Why can't the English,
Why can't the English learn to speak?

Wait, we (the English) speak the way English was intended to be, or atleast those that speak standard English do (not cockney, yorkie, yankee etc). Up until the 1940s the only language that was used on BBC radio was received pronounciation (the Queen's speech) so you are lucky things have changed.

You big Dummy! the English speak perfect english-it's their language. We (Americans) changed a few words, and maybe pronounce them differently. They (English) speak it the way it's intended to be.

Actually, they talk quite properly. The words over here are sometimes different over there. Like a"fag" is actually a cigeratte over there, rather than over here.
