"English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." (unknown)
Do you know that the English and the American languages differ greatly? The American language is one of frank sincerity, naturalness, earnest attitude, and fellowship acceptance.The English favor the language first, its user second; and the Americans favor the user first, language second.
The English in their imperialist manner forced the English language on all their colonies and conquered people, America being one of those colonies. But fortunately, America has earned her independence and long ago history says.
With the immigration of peoples from many nations speaking and writing other languages as well as the native America Indian languages that influenced American language as it now exists, how one speaks and writes should be judged first and foremost on that fact that he does so freely and openly, sincerely, and honestly.... not on how well he conforms to English expectations of grammar perfection.
That being said, you may grade my English grammar of the writing above or what I write in my blogs only after you first understand the difference between being American versus being a pedantic of English language.
