Why are Brits so salty that their iteration of English is dying to the objectively better and more powerful one?

It's already halfway done though. Apparently words like marvelous are now less popular than their American counterparts like Awesome.

British people are severely autistic when it comes to their language which is grammatically very dull and 70% of which consists of loan words from language families other than its own. This wouldn't be that bad if they weren't particularly prickly about their transatlantic cousins removing some of the most redundant outgrowths and replacing them with smooth mechanisms grounded in the Germanic nature of English in colloquial use of language or the Latin foundation in academia respectively.

We are your cousins too. Also, don't forget they for the most part dropped the languages traditional rhotic pronunciation while we kept it.

There is a reason Anglos eat beef and pork instead of cow and pig. Had Norman nobility liked chicken and fish more we would be calling them poulay and poizzon.

I know the difference between all of these and can spell just fine. Take a running jump.

>>79267436
Everyone who has taken elementary school in an English speaking country knows those differences. IDK what he's going on about, maybe he just got triggered by the fact that in haste many people don't type in correct grammar.

>>79267571
well the flag is different so maybe hes talking about a different country?

This is a fact agreed upon almost universally by linguists and historians. I don't understand your inability to accept it.

>>79265359
We've always has the word "awesome", but we used to use it very differently.

It meant "awe inspiring". It was a formal word, not an informal word.

So you might say "it was an awesome building", meaning that it was very grand, it inspired awe. The meaning now is very different.

how do they pronounce those words in the colony?

only québecois do it because they don't feel safe about anglos not corrupting their language

which is fair

we have no reason to be insecure like them about that so no we don't do that

we do regularly laugh at the funny translations they find for english movies though
