I don't see how the development of the English language could possibly
affect the way Americans express anti-nationalistic sentiments because
English developed in England (never have guessed that, would you?!)
over many centuries from Anglo-Saxon and other Northern European languages.
I think it is about time Americans from the USA realised it is not their
language AND to stop misspelling it.

 Sorry about that flame but I get very annoyed about the reaction from
the USA to our language, as do many other people I know.

 Richard.
