        american English is improper English

        “Improper” on which grounds?

        You do realise that language variation is normal and expected, and it doesn’t make any of the underlying varieties intrinsically “better” or “worse” than the others, right?

        Here’s that video with Jeremy Clarkson that’s shows some of the issues with american English

        You are being a bloody muppet. And given that it is not the first time, I won’t waste my time further with you, go lick a cactus.
