Since you are so proud of your "American" language let me give you a fun fact straight from wikipedia. "In a typical English dictionary of 80,000 words, which corresponds very roughly to the vocabulary of an educated English speaker, about 5% of the words are borrowed from Greek directly, and about 25% indirectly" 30% of your language exists thanks to the Greeks and the rest thanks to the British.
The Greeks and the British are primitive and stuck in the dark ages. We've taken the language on as our own, filled it out and made it the best language there is. Therefore, it can hardly qualify as "English" anymore. The British took over our land and tried to force their customs on us. We showed them who's boss. Nowadays a Brit will tell you it's their language and believe this makes them superior, but we Americans know the truth. They are just ignorant and up themselves while we invented the AMERICAN of today (which they only can speak because of TV).
Is it normal I think people should only speak American in America?
