Well........its very simple really.

You purport to speak a language called "English".

Yet you take this beautiful language of Shakespeare, Milton and Wordsworth and mangle it by changing the meanings of words (bum, trunk, football, fag), spelling it incorrectly (color, etc) and then trying to tell us that WE are spelling it incorrectly whenever I use the spellcheck on my laptop !

...................and you have the cheek to call the winners of the Superbowl the "World Football Champions" when no team from outside the USA is allowed to enter the competition.

Strangely, all the associations (the English FA, FIFA, etc) call it "football" rather than "soccer", so why the hell do you lot have to be different ?
