Thread Name: BS:threat to English language from Americanisms
Subject: RE: BS:threat to English language from Americanisms
Then the thread title is erroneous. I think it can safely assumed that there is no one single and correct "English" language. The term "English speaking" is a general term which refers to a common base language that evolved in England and is now spoken in various forms over several continents. Perhaps you are referring to a "threat to the language of England from Americanisms". In that case the problem is the English adopting Americanisms. Also you seem to have a problem with manufacturers not catering to your preferences. Again the solution lies with English people demanding resolution.
