I'm not an American, I'm British, so.. Would it anger people to learn that the English language was a language brought to America by migrants?.. And then forced violently upon native populations of people, then slaves brought over against their will to the Americas.. It's an import..

With the orange felon trying to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico it’s a surprise he doesn’t call the language American. It’s certainly not English. Okay, our languages are quite similar, and we can usually understand each other, but there are significant differences.

When I email Americans, I use US spelling and vocabulary, and similarly, British English for the UK. I'm a stickler for spelling, but on Bluesky, it's a dilemma because both American and British audiences might read my posts. I Know - it doesn't matter, and most understand the differences.
