Subject: RE: BS:threat to English language from Americanisms
I speak American English in a Maine dialect. Does that satisfy the UK pedants?

Didn't Charles De Gaul once say that France should come up with a French word for television? He also had a problem with English creeping into the French language.
I'll bet he didn't mind hearing English spoken while he sat on has ass in England while England, America and Canada freed his country from the Germans.
