At last! I have wanted to see a piece on the sbuejct of something we can say, Linguistic Hypocrisy. They tell us here (In USA) that the Americans have brought the level of English language at the level that it has not reached since the last 100 years.Now, the self-assigning leader of the free world and officially known as the greatest country in the history of the Universe, ever, honestly- has developed some of the worst linguistic empire in the world. I am not underestimating the American language or something, just saying that in the modern multilingual and global village, there should be no place for linguistic chauvinism. It can be British or American English, it is English and all are same.
