    I hate it when people spell and speak 'American English' instead of 'British English' but i think your particular annoyance has routes in xenophobia.

      British English is primitive. It's a dying language. Because America is the most powerful country all should learn AMERICAN. British English is a thing of the past.
      And no, I'm not xenophobic. I just find foreigners rude and pig-headed (not Japanese.)

        Both British English and American English continued to develop when they diverged. Because of the overpopulation of the UK and how closely we're all packed together, British English evolved at a faster rate and became more intricate and nuanced than American English. The power of American media in this country has forced many to abandon a very layered, multi-faceted and complex language and instead refer to things as cool, each other as dude and eat things suffixed "whizz".

          I don't think adding slang words to a language makes its structure less complex.
          Go back to your own country.
