Seriously, rexbecca? Maybe you should check the condescending OP again. People have no right to point fingers when they have no idea what the hell they're talking about.
Maybe you should keep your uneducated guesses about linguistics to yourself, there, "professor".
That's it. A whole new level of mediocrity has just been achieved. I can't argue in this thread anymore. Keep your shallow opinions, I don't need to change them if you won't listen to plain reason.

American English is a bastard language, but it is our language here in the states. I may get on the train or I may stay on the platform. As long as I don't get on the tracks, I'll be safe.
