Well isn't it derived English, from an original rich source of words that are now lazily used and misspelled on another continent?
English derives from the original Germanics, Roman and Greek richness that created such a mix of diversity, doesn't it?
I see true usage of rich true English used by American educated persons, who are proud that they have studied and learned Oxford English....
so aint we got it already?
Palynka, you are wrong to assume that American English is indeed English in correct usage. I call you to qualify your reasons for believing it is English in the true sense of those exact words you tried to qualify.
Originally posted by mikelomAh, so English is rich because it "bastardized" (to use your words) Greek, Germanics and Roman and yet American is poor because it added to those influences.

I see true ...[text shortened]... ns for believing it is English in the true sense of those exact words you tried to qualify.
Did I get this right? Because it seems that you're just the typical parochial fool.
Who are these supposedly educated American people who feel the need to use Oxford English? Because American literature is filled with people who don't write in Oxford English.

I wrote "bastardised", not "bastardized" just because your spell checker corrected it to American shiiiite!'
I certainly didn't English was bastardised Gremanics, Latin etc... it is and is a developed language historically and is where it is at because it has preogressed naturally, without external asylum.
American English has been influenced by the absorbtion of Latino and influx of lazy non-English speakers for the last 150 years,....... that has made it a lazy lingo. I am sure most Americans agree that American English is a lazy sabattical of what was a once richly used lingo by the original settlers.
Why don't we await responses,,, before your continued and laborious bitching. 😴

Really, who else but expats could teach English when they write like this?

You tire me with your pedantics.
I don't need to qualify myself to you, and nor do I ever ask you to do so to me.
If you feel that expats do malpractice and disservice to others then I suggest you write a thread about it. You'll find out just how unpopular you really are then!
You also seem to lack the knowledge of time difference between continents.
Goodnight!
A friend of mine went to teach English in Thailand for two years or something like that. He was an E student with no teaching experience or qualification and as for his command of the language... well let's just say that they'll take anyone.
He had a wonderful time though. Upon his return he didn't shut up about Thailand for months.
