Listen buddy, bastardizing the Queen's english has been an American institution since we turned Boston Harbor a lovely shade of Earl Grey!!!
Just bustin' your chops! I was stationed in England for four years and made a lot of British mates!!
You aren't still sore about that late 1700's thing are you? Sorry to kick off that whole "decline of the empire" thing..Our bad! Funny, but more British folks showed up to our Fourth of July celebrations at our base than American mil members. They had a great time!
Seriously though a good percentage of Americans speak spanish...They're called Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans and Cuban Americans! And the gangsta lingo is just a bastardization of American english, which in turn is a bastardization of the Queens english. I see the startings of a vicious cycle. Pretty soon the latest lingo will be straight from the mean streets of Kensington.
Sorry, I am still just bustin' your b*lls! I had to have some fun with this!!!

We aren't abusing the language any more than you, or the commonwealth countries are. Cockney rhyming slang is more abusive to English than anything we can ever hope to come up with. Why not go after Scotland? They have some of the only people to speak English as a first language that still need subtitles to be understood.

After talking to South Africans, Australians, and Canadian, we were all convinced that somewhere along the line, the English stopped speaking English.
Heck, even a British Sergeant I work with agreeded.

Yes, You are 100% correct. We do abuse your queens english. But, rather then invading, please send Mr. Bean over here to teach us how you Brits converse. If he's busy maybe Roger Daltrey can help our G_G_G_Generation

For a nation whose 2nd most popular name for male babies is Mohammed, Brittania won't be ruling much longer.

Sie sind willkommen, dass Sie die Engländer der Königin und nicht Deutsch sprechen.

You are welcome that you do speak the Queen's English and not German.
