On this therd there is some disscussion of American being it's seperte language form English on this therd.I think that disscussion whould be getting more of topic if I posted anything more about it so I decide to create this theard.
Reasons why American should be sepreate form English (this in not in oder):
1)American and the British have differn't words:Have you ever herd a Briton say "Yo","Y'all"(It's a word in an officaly American dialic) or an American calling bathroom a "lou"(Can someone please explain why it's called a Lou in British english)?Probally not unless on some occusions but it's not apart of the everday vocbalry.
2)They both have diffent ways to use an insult:Britons when they insult [insert noun here] they say "bloody [insert noun here]"!Americans use more offensive words(Note:this is for much more severe occasions) (No I didn't type a word in and the censership is blocking it) [insert noun here]!
3)Patriotism:We fought a war for independence from Briton and we still speak there language?Our language should seperte just like the the country
4)English words that is from American Teenager,blizzard etc. are words form the united states which means that American is it's own langauge since it has it's own words
