My view is.....we invented the damn language....they've learnt to speak it wrongly.

English was never "invented"! It evolved from Latin and germanic languages. But I agree, British english, for the most part, is more "correct" than American english. But, since language something that constantly evolves, as soon as you separate populations the language is going to change within those populations. In America alone, there are so many different varieties of English that if someone from the south were to go to Boston, for example, there would be much confusion. Hell, I have a hard time following what some of the chaps from Louisiana are saying and they're only one state over!

In light of this, you can't really say that one form of English is more correct than another. To do that would mean that you would have to try to keep the language from evolving ... but that won't happen. Latin is a dead language now because grammarians refused to let it evolve ... even though it did.

ShankS ... damn. You know me so well.

Seriously though. If you spoke to someone who'd lived where I come from all their life, you wouldn't understand a fuckin word they said. Thats the problem when cousins marry you see.
