Maybe that’s part of the reason he did achieve so much…if he weren’t so irritable, he might have been OK with the way Lord North was treating the colonists.

English is British.

There’s British English, American English and Australian English. Most of the other English speakers usually go for British English.

American English would have evolved in pretty much the same way regardless of how the American revolution turned out. Local variations in pronounciation and usage occur within each country as well as between countries. Despite its British origin, English itself evolved from Latin and other ancient languages, as did most European languages, influenced by those other languages through the ages.

Did not know dental floss went back that far!

Didn’t he have wooden teeth? Maybe he should be flossing with sandpaper.

Crest toothpaste??? It’s that old???

Where is the boat? Or did he cross the river in that bathtub?

English is much more Germanic than Latin. The Romance languages – French, Italian, and Spanish – came from Latin.

The American language, like the American people, is a collection of nearly every possable influence on earth.
