@XxGREATxBRITAINxX

At least we can spell the word "pronounce"

@XxGREATxBRITAINxX In 1783 we formally separated our pronunciation of english words from the British. To date teh United States have not unified our language (ex. southern sounds different from yankee) and remain separate states unified only for the protection of our right to spell without an extraneous "u" (ex color vs colour). ;-)

@XxGREATxBRITAINxX We took the english language and bastardised it for our own! Jealous? LOL ;D

[lucasradford]

@MountainGyspy So you took the language? So what were they speaking in the colonies before the revolution? lol they knew no different, just the accent and some spellings changed over the years.

[MountainGyspy]

@lucasradford We as in the american people.  The people here before had languages of their own...and still do.

[lucasradford]

@MountainGyspy Yeah Of course but what I meant is that The American language as we know it today wasn't taken or stolen from the British, The American Colonists WERE British, the language has just evolved differently from the way it did in England. Exactly the same as how Medieval English Is so different from modern English. Reading back on my comment i can see how it sounded like i was being offensive lol

@lucasradford Elizabethan english was very different than english today for sure. My boyfriend is from england and makes fun of my english all the time. LOL I speak Ozarkian english lol

[lucasradford]

@MountainGyspy haha Well It's the same over here as far as accents and changes in things like slang. For example, Someone from the south of England may not even be able to understand someone with a thick Northern accent! lol

@XxGREATxBRITAINxX who cares
