Come on ... everyone knows that only the English can speak English. You can't force a Yank, Ozzie, or Kiwi to learn
proper English.
You have to realise that the English are always the bad guys (see any American movie) and the people now living in its former colonies are most aggrieved with the English (who always do things wrong) and they feel that they did not ask to be speaking English, regardless of their perhaps British ancestry (it is nearly always
British - they will find a Scots, Welsh, Cornish member of the family somewhere).
Any corruption of the English language gets the thumbs up as far as some folks are concerned.
