What a lot of b*ll*cks.
The rocket engine was mostly German.( after that it was just modified)
The JET ENGINE was first bench tested by Frank Whittle in the 30's...Sorry to tell you...he was BRITISH.
VCR (1950's) and TV are British, as is the telephone and computers and the Internet , Anti lock Braking System is also a British design.
Webcams are British.
Without the British Industrial Revolution of the 1800's conveyor belts and mass production would not exist.
Marconi invented the radio. (the first ever message sent by radio was at a place not far from where I live)
Any white goods you mention are only by-products of the electric motor.( once that was invented, everything else just followed)
In fact all that we have today stem from just 2 things..and the Americans NEVER invented them.
The first was man harnessing the use of FIRE.
The second was the WHEEL.
You need to get your self back to skool.

Answer 3

Yes, and they also teach their students excellent English Grammar. As an author, who left school at fourteen to work down the pits, my education was limited, to put it midly.

Time and time again, I have received help from American writers, unasked for, and freely given. So we spell some words a little differently, but as long as we can understand each other, so what?

They weigh and measure things in lbs ounces, and feet and inches, too. We English used to be civilised too, once.

Answer 4

Just as I'm sure an American would say that the English don't spell things correctly. There are two types of English, GB English and American English. We don't fuckk (yes I put two k's on purpose!) with the way you speak and spell your version of English, the least you can do as an "Englishman" is respect the way we speak just as we respect the way you speak.

Answer 5

Answer: Yes the United States has schools which primarily teach the tongue of the realm...American!
England! Where its every school boys dream to be a queen...
About to be KICKED OUT of the last six occupied counties of Ireland...
And once the Scots have properly bleed the english, they will kick them out as well.
Your "An a Englishman" concern yourself with proof reading and anothers spelling will seem trivial.

Answer 6

We have lots of SCHOOLS in the US. In fact, one of the first words we learn how to spell in primary school is SCHOOL. If you're really wondering about the spelling differences between the US and the UK, though, you'll probably have to take that up with Noah Webster.

Answer 7

permit me suited your paragraph: hi Im Sid and that i'm English. i recently went to the rustic on business enterprise and alter into surprised how little American human beings seem to understand and that i puzzled in the event that they actully have colleges their. American human beings even conflict to spell words like coloration and HUMOUR and that they look very stupid.i think of the lazy sods (??) spend extra time eating burgers and frys than particularly discovering something. there is diverse advice on the thank you to spell HUMOUR AND coloration. uk way: coloration and humour American way: coloration and humor and specific, we actually visit colleges, do not you spot all the colleges collectively as you have been interior the rustic? i don't think of so. And look, all of it particularly is coming from an American.

Answer 8

Of course America has schools - why to you think you receive such well argued answes to your questions about the USA? If they didnt, all you'd get is rednecked threats,insults about your teeth, and boring drivel about 1776.
I say, "Go USA, where you go, the rest of the world follows" (generally shaking its head, & sweeping up the mess)

Answer 9

ive just read some of the american replies to this question,and it amazes me how brain dead they are....I mean...big lists of things they invented(check out British inventions by comparison...and where did the industrial revolution begin...was it america..no i dont think it was)...and the real reason americans change the spelling of English..is because they are fukkin illiterate....And what language are we speaking..is it American...no..i believe its called English

Answer 10

As my English Brother in law would say "I Wuss Tinkin Dat" What amazes me is how little an Englishman knows about what goes on outside his "Local"

Answer 11

How many Americans have you encountered?
An about Bush,I agree with you.At least with this fuhrer.He is being fought.
