Heh. 'English' has been well and truly co-opted by those of us in the
USofA. We outnumber y'all by what? Almost 5:1 (281,000,000:60,000,000
as of 2000 data)? Heck, there are over half as many Californians
(~33,000,000 as of 2000) as there are residents of the UK.
So we're doing our best to keep 'English' a vibrant, dynamic and
living language. After all it's only the dead ones that remain static.
Consider yourselves lucky that we've retained its name. :-)
