@Unquestioned Many of us do.

@bijouxbroussard It's a shame they don't use those spellings. The USA speak pidgin English.

@Unquestioned We speak a slightly different dialect of English, hence the different spellings and pronunciations from some terms in the UK. Yet most English speakers still understand us.

@bijouxbroussard Yeah, I understand your way of speaking and all you say. Yet to me it is USA language. To call it English is disrespectful in my mind.

@Unquestioned I don’t see why. That’s how dialects work; they’re based upon a mother language and adapt to the influences of the environment and speakers around it. Most European languages brought by the colonizers are spoken somewhat differently in the Americas.

@bijouxbroussard You just gotta love America and all they stand for. God Bless America.

@Unquestioned Not everything. But the world definitely seems to enjoy our music.

@bijouxbroussard I enjoy music from all over the world, (including music from the USA) I love music, it keeps me young :)I've had a few whiskies tonight.

@Unquestioned I think the whiskey has made someone a tad provocative this evening. 🙄
