I don't think we can call the butchered form of language we speak English.
Someone should just call it American.

In Taiwan, everyone does believe American is a language. Canadian is a seperate language, as well as Australian and the UK.
There's English language schools here with names like "Lets Go American Language School", "American Language Center" etc.... gets rather retarded.
You should see the job ads. "Prefer north American accent, female......" bla bla. Some even say they want a white person.
Rather racist, sexist and whatever other ist you can think of.
Anyway, in conclusion, American is not a language. Though, there are enough retards out there (especially in Taiwan) believe it is.
P.S. Yes, I'm an English teacher. (No, not a retarded Taiwanese, I just live here.)
Stay out of my foxhole, pal!

Canada's version of English is equally/more fooked than the American version. Blame the frogs in Quebec.
