sn1p3r: "A few words here and there" they may be, but still... it's extremely infuriating to be forced to read a bastardised version of my language EVERY day. I can't escape it. 60 million of us can't escape it. The people of Italy, for example, don't have to put up with reading a Mickey Mouse version of their language. Why should we? Just because our language is 99% the same as that of another country whose media want to dominate the world? BAH.
mwe99: Whether or not people can understand it isn't the point. Yes we can understand American. But with that attitude, in a hundred years or so British English will die out, if people just can't be bothered to stand up for it. I already have to suffer hearing my friends say "movie" (American) instead of "film" (British), just because of the influence of the American media
Frasie: What differences are there between the French language of Quebec and the French of France? I did not know that there were differences... please would you tell me, because I am fascinated to know!
