Why the fuck would you assume the rest of the World is just like America? An how do you fuck up a language so badly by simply moving across the Atlantic Ocean?

America tends to speak English the way that it was invented. Instead of fucking it up without even the excuse of moving across the Atlantic Ocean.

Seriously. American English tends to use Georgian or even pre-Georgian vocabulary instead of adopting the latest fashionable Victorian or Edwardian terminology.
