As Great Britain Fades Into the History Books, Should “English” Be Replaced With “American” to Describe Our Global Language?
Great Britain has endowed her descendents with many wondrous things. From the Magna Carta to the Age of Enlightenment, from the Puritan Work Ethic to Shakespeare, so much of modern culture can trace its origins to the wisdom of the English. Their history is rich and fascinating. They have built glorious cities and once reigned over an empire that brought morality and decency to the harshest corners of the third world.
Yet Britain was simply the birthplace for many of the ideas that helped shape human civilization. When the pilgrims left their homeland to establish something beautiful and empowering in the Americas, they brought with them an inspiration that far outshone anything that could be conceived of on the British Isles. The bountiful and free lands of the new contintent gave birth to a newfound glory beyond the imagination of old Europe. Thus, America’s incredible gift to the rest of this planet was and continues to be an unbridled passion about our future, about a pure form of humane government and about chasing this dream with every ounce of sweat in our arsenal.
There’s no denying that the United States was once indebted to Britain but after nearly three centuries of benevolence, have our dues not been paid? We stood by England as her empire imploded in the early 1800s. We kept her royal coffers full with trade and industrial innovation in the 19th century. In the 20th, we rescued her from the German menace twice and carried that bloated and corrupt body politic on our backs through the Cold War. Today, much of Britain’s legitimacy on the geopolitical scene is due to her close relationship with America, despite the decline in the moral efficacy of her government. Would England be so respected were it not for our protection? Would such a limited military force be able to hold onto its far off colonies without the implied defense of our noble marines? Yet in the humility that so defines our sacred ethos, we have never truly asked our overseas brethren for anything in return for this gracious love and support.
With the internet buzzing across international borders at an ever-increasing rate today, standardizing communication has never been more essential. Not only do we depend on a shared language so that our computers can speak to each other, human beings also need a common way to express themselves. As Americans, this is a pivotal opportunity for us share the good news about change, power and devotion to those who suffer and toil no matter what their nationality.
This brings us to the urgent issue at hand. For too long, the world’s most important language has been labeled “English” when in truth it’s the American version of this tongue that people in every country from Canada to China rely on. The United States has innovated and matured its lexicon far beyond the attempts of the British. We have invented too many words to count, including “telephone” and “internet,” “meritocracy” and “kindness.” In truth, our native language is simpler, more direct. It is free of any of the obscure and offensive slang so common in Europe. It lends itself to widespread comprehension due to basic grammatical rules and its lack of a heavy accent.
On the other hand, spoken European English is guttural and abrupt, akin to German or French. The language you hear overseas has more in common with the archaic sonnets of Shakespeare than the cutting edge, internet-ready clarity of American words. As our tongue has become more and more Americanized, American English has truly developed into a conduit of insight and global understanding.
With all due respect to Great Britain, isn’t it about time we stop referring to our shared articulation as “English”? Such a bold change would have implications beyond the grammatical. The word “American” symbolizes far more than just a language. It is an ideal that embodies truth and vision, hope and faith. Letting those outside of our borders understand that they’re speaking American reminds them of the incredible social, political and economic innovations we have never been afraid to share. The world must appreciate that the United States is a foundation of culture and intellect, that so many of the latest, most momentous ideas have sprung forth from our nation. Simply uttering “American” inspires a ray of promise for those who struggle under communism, poverty and oppression everywhere on God’s good earth.
As we look towards the future, an acknowledgement of American as the basis of human communication is a significant step. Ultimately, ours is a language of peace and vision in a world where violence and hatred threaten at every turn. We face dangerous and tumultuous times ahead, where radical lifestyles and divergent beliefs undermine the very basis of civilization. The rise of Muslim extremism, homosexual behavior, atheism, communism and many others are in direct conflict with the very truths of our national existence. Yet armies are not enough to defeat our enemies. We battle for the hearts and minds of those who so yearn for greatness as we do.
Along the way, it’s our mission to also seed the word of God into this cross-border conversation. For the struggling peoples across the globe to come to His grace, they need to develop that special relationship with our Savior. Speaking American is the necessary component to our nation’s fulfillment of a greater destiny.
My friends I must ask you, for the sake of our planet’s future, will you speak American?

There is an evident strain of socialism in Britian and I truly blame the Labor politicians AND the labor unions. You people have let your country slide into communism for far too long. With these groups networking their way into positions of power, your resolve as an activist of justice on the global stage is dramatically reduced. Now that we’re seeing a unified Europe and all varieties of socialist policies coming forward, is it any coincidence that we’re also seeing your economy on the brink of bankruptcy? Spain and Greece readily come to mind, but the truth is Europe is in deep debt and your currency is hyper inflated.

Your reply shows how little you actually know about the world outside America. England is far from communism. The power wealth and running of the country is not divided equally amongst the people. Which, by the way is a very basic overview of communism. It is not the job of any one country to decide judgement on all others (maybe you should consider that) and our standing in the global organisations that are in place to govern human rights and the justice on a global stage is still pretty high. It is only weakened by our association with America as you have started some controversial wars lately.
Yes, the British economy nears a state of collapse. However we are not alone. IT IS A GLOBAL RECESSION. America’s economy is also suffering. Every country is in deep debt, again including America. Is it related to socialist policies? Not at all. National health care has been around for well over a century and the GLOBAL economic problems are recent.
You also seem to misunderstand the point of labour unions. They are there to ensure that workers have fair pay and as safe as possible working conditions. They are usually funded mostly by the members of said unions and often outside government control.
As for free health care. It is not available to everyone. The NHS is there to ensure those that can’t afford it can get the treatment they need rather than suffer. How does ensuring a general level of good health seem like a bad thing? I can’t see how it would and that is all the NHS does. The base level of health provided by the NHS ensures most people are healthy enough to work. It is also funded via the taxes that everyone pays.

Great points there. Cameron is the leader of the conservative party and yep they are in charge at the moment. In actuality it should be a conservative and lib dem coalition, both parties having a major say in the running. However, the lib dems have gone back on all their election promises and the conservatives basically have had their say in most matters. So for all intents and purposes it is a conservative government.
As for England in the European Union. Yes we are. We just didn’t want to change to the Euro. Which is collapsing at a greater rate than the pound.

Hi, I thought I’d chime in here since there’s some confusion. “Millenium” is actually French Canadian so I surmise he’s criticizing the mention I made about the American language being prevalent in that country.

Simple answer to that is no. It should always be English. By all means go develop your own language and call it American but don’t take an already existing language and demand it be called American without drastically changing it. Also English the global language? Really? No it isn’t. It is the THIRD most common native speaking language after Spanish and Mandarin (the most common).
Great Britain is indeed credited with a lot of inventions and ideas that has shaped mankind’s development. However there is nothing simple about it so it can’t be dismissed as easily as you have clearly done. As for America’s contribution yes it has contributed (so has every other country in their own way) to mankind’s development. However they don’t out shine all of the British achievements. Many are expansions of British achievements therefore without the British groundwork it wouldn’t be around.
In the early 1800s you were recently independent so not big on HELPING the expansion of a BRITISH empire now were you? The 18th & 19th century was the BRITISH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION. We were ahead of every country in both industrial and trade terms. Again not really anything to do with America. The world wars? Yes you HELPED towards the end. However the important word is helped there. Europe had been fighting those brutal wars for years before you got involved. Our troops were exhausted and you supplied a few troops. The Cold War? Irrelevant in this discussion Western Europe wasn’t really involved. The East and West of Europe was separated. Britain was not really involved in the Cold War.
Now on to Britain and America’s close relationship nowadays. Yes we do have a close relationship. Are we respected because of it? No. We are mocked, ridiculed and insulted because of it. Do you offer the UK our only protection? Not really no. Britain has other allies. Plus we still have our own powerful army, navy and air-force. Our military forces are far from limited. In fact we STILL offer support and die in YOUR wars (cheers for the appreciation there) despite the negative global view it gives our country. As for colonies, you do realise that we no longer have an empire right? Also all the countries that still belong to us do so willingly. We can and do defend our own lands without the “implied defense of your noble marines”.
Yes a standardised language for the internet (and only the internet) is becoming more and more necessary as the internet links more people from more nations. But is this a chance for Americans to push their ideas on how people should speak? No.
Now for what you incorrectly call the urgent issue.
English doesn’t equal the most important language. People don’t rely on the American version of the “tongue” as you call it. It is spoken. There is little to no difference in the spoken versions of American English and English the words color and colour sound exactly the same to anyone. The main difference is in the spelling not tongue. The “tongue” is known world wide as ENGLISH.
Your lexicon has not greatly overshadowed the English lexicon as YOU HAVE OUR LANGUAGE! You didn’t invent too many words to count as you have the ENGLISH language most of “your words” are British anyway just with different definitions. Alexander Graham Bell the man who invented and first called the telephone was British (Scottish to be exact). Before that it was a common French word so not American. The internet was a global project all countries with computers were looking to network all computers. The name may come from the American name for your defence network. However it may interest you to know the world wide web as we know it now, invented by British engineer and computer scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Meritocracy been around for centuries before America. The word itself? Coined by British politician and sociologist, Michael Young in his 1958. You seriously going to claim kindness? A concept that exists beyond our species and spans the entire history of life didn’t exist until America came along? A word that comes from Old Engilsh? Wrong again.
The language you here over hear is IDENTICAL to the LANGUAGE you hear over there. Your words ARE our words. The only difference is accent. Are you seriously suggesting that we speak in sonnets over here? The fact you compare English spoken in England to that of the sonnets just proves you have little to no experience with either a sonnet, the spoken English in Britain or both. I suggest you read a sonnet then have a conversation with a British tourist (about what doesn’t matter as long as you don’t cause offence) then compare the two. You WILL notice a drastic difference.
There is a lot of offence to the British caused by your suggestion. The only implications you will have of referring to English as American is to federatively slap the British and OUR language across the face. The word American may symbolise all what you state to you but to a rapidly increasing percentage of the world it is beginning to represent arrogance and your apparent desire to nuke every country that doesn’t agree with you. Renaming the whole language would just boost the negative connotations of the word American especially arrogance.
I will never speak “American” (unless you develop your own unique language that is radically different from English) and will continue to call it by what it is until the day I die: English.

Thank you my friend for the fascinating and detailed response. You bring up several interesting points but most importantly your emphasis on history and grammatical minutae underscores my thesis. The British are a people of the past. You focus on what might have been and stories from centuries ago. America is about progress. We look towards the future. This is why I believe the name of our shared language needs to be updated. My case, as you have read, has genuine social and spiritual implications and if you truly hope the human race acheives something on this planet, part of you must agree with me.
1) What has Great Britain invented lately? America daily introduces massive technological innovations that leave old Europe breathless.
2) The Industrial Revolution was an American experience. It contributed to your economy, but again the great leaps forward were done on American soil. Our factories, our economy, our democracy steamed there way into global prominence over those decades.
3) England was deeply involved in the Cold War. It was a battleground for KGB spies and CIA agents. Your universities had massive scandals regarding communist professors (and homosexuality). You need to return to your library on this one!
4) I strongly support the British government as do many in America, despite your labor sympathies. I believe your nation is respected around the world and particularly at the U.N. because you are our ally. Would you have a seat on the Security Council without us? Would you be in the G8, NATO, etc. without the approval of the U.S.? Of course not. We want you there but that doesn’t mean you should take our support for granted.
5) American is indeed the most important language on the planet because of its dispersal and significance in global commerce. Mandarian is one of the most common tongues around, but that’s simply because there are so many Chinese in China. You have stumbled upon a statistical anomoly and made a mountain out of it.
6) In uour discussion of specific words (ie. “kindness”), you seem to confuse concepts with actual words. Sure, the idea of meritocracy has been around for some time but it was in the U.S. that this specific term was popularized.
7) European English and American are not at all the same. In fact, I find the way your people speak rather old-fashioned and a bit indecipherable. England is plagued by harsh local accents that seem purposefully constructed to confuse the outsider. You speak far to quickly with those jabbing guttural emissions. Sometimes your pitch is unnecessarily high and your sentence structure is overly complex to say the least. American is far more direct and comprehensible. If you encounter people from all over the world, you will find they prefer to speak American. It’s the language of culture and commerce.
8. Finally, in the sentence “The language you here over hear” I hope you realize the grave grammatical errors. I find it important to learn the basics of prose if you want people to take you seriously.
Well, God bless and I pray this helps my friend.

If meant genuinely, I actually appreciated the fact you started off your response by stating you found my response fascinating and I rose interesting points. It made a pleasant change from the usual insulting responses I get to my comments.
I only emphasised the parts of history where you brought it up first, as a counterargument to your points. The British people are not of the past. We don’t look to the past. Americans are not the only country that looks to the future.
1) Honestly, I am unsure of the number of recent completely British inventions. Lately, inventions have not been individual projects, relying on groups of scientists from all over the world. Can you name any projects that haven’t had any involvement from outside America? No you can’t. It isn’t possible. As for drastic technological advances. Don’t exist we are improving technology that has been around for decades or even centuries.
2) The industrial revolution was a BRITISH achievement. Having studied that period in depth I can tell you that Britain were miles ahead of the rest of the world in industrial advancement at the time. We were the first country to have an industrial revolution and arguably it lasted the longest and achieved the most.
3) The Cold War was a series of battles between America’s view of democracy and the USSR. There may have been Spies of both sides in England at the time but ENGLAND DIDN’T GET INVOLVED IN YOUR BATTLES. The spies were there checking on the opposing side’s troops.
4) Britain is valued as part of all these global organisations DESPITE it allying itself with America. It is because we are a powerful nation and one of the founding members of the global organisations you mentioned.
5) Mandarin is spoken in MANY other countries apart from just China. American English isn’t a language in its own respect it is a dialect at best.
6) Yes I discussed the concepts but I also discussed the roots of the words and clearly stated that the term meritocracy was COINED (invented, first used, call it what you like) BY A BRITISH MAN.
7) It is the same. America is filled with regional dialects that confuse people as well. Some of the American accents can be incredibly grating. It is the same everywhere. I understood your article to be discussing the written word rather than the spoken word so is your point really necessary? Also English is universally considered to be a confusing written language whether or not you mean English or American English.
8) Yes, I realise I got the hear and here the wrong way round. However a) I clearly didn’t proof read it and if that is the only grammatical mistake that is in there I’d say I did pretty well. b) I have a very mild case of dyslexia which means on occasion my spelling and grammar are occasionally incorrect.

“The British are a people of the past.”
I’m pretty sure that the 60,000,000+ people living in Britain would beg to differ.
1. Japan invents even more than the U.S.
2. The Industrial Revolution STARTED in Britain, you moron.
3. And Britain was a key player in the Cold War, so what’s your point?
“We want you there but that doesn’t mean you should take our support for granted.”
Congratulations on patronizing an entire country, assmaster.
5. Once again, it’s called the English language, NOT the American language
7. Shut up, Billings. Seriously, just shut up.
“8. Finally, in the sentence “The language you here over hear” I hope you realize the grave grammatical errors. I find it important to learn the basics of prose if you want people to take you seriously.”

I too would like to remove associations between American English and actual English. However Billings appears to be suggesting a complete renaming of our language in all contexts. I for one do not want to have to refer or hear our beautiful mother tongue referred to as American. I suggest if you are that keen on having a separate language of your own (I am talking to the Americans here who want to call English American) why not do just that? Start developing an individual language taking English as a starting point and drastically alter it perhaps throw in a few words taken from other languages. Evolve it to the point it is no longer recognisable as English before you call it American.

You haven’t and that is my point take the two versions of English side by side and they are almost identical except from a few minor spelling differences.
I understood where you were coming from. You believe because a few words have a slightly different meaning and or spelling it creates an entirely different language. It doesn’t, it creates a dialect. The same words over here in England have different meanings depending on where you are in the country. However that is not enough to justify a difference great enough to call the dialect a new language. There are still too many similarities for it to be a new language. It doesn’t require translation. I guess you too were anxious to judge.
When the majority of the words require some form of translation, then you have a new language. Until that time America uses a version (or dialect if you prefer) of English.

Facebook conversation between Billings and myself:
Friday
Claire Snedeker
Billings, I was looking at the picture that you have of Mitt Romney doing dishes. Why do you refer to doing the dishes as “women’s chores”? You’re aware that you’re living in the 21st Century and that the degrading days of “Leave it to Beaver” are over, right?
Friday
Stephenson Billings
I am horrible at dishes and frankly, mother is too. How was your turkey day? Did you eat meat or are you a veggie person? It must have been fun to have the whole fam around.
Friday
Claire Snedeker
You didn’t answer my question.
Friday
Stephenson Billings
Women have always cleaned and loved doing it! Some of you feminist libers think different, but you’re truly in the minority. It’s how a marriage balances out– the man works in the real world and the woman must apply herself to a small amount of household upkeep and child bearing to pay off her dues.
Friday
Claire Snedeker
So…what you think is that wives “owe” their husbands for “letting” them stay in “their” houses? I have some news for you: women aren’t indentured servants, you asswhipe. Not all women clean and not all women love doing it! This is the 21st Century! How dare you?
Friday
Stephenson Billings
Please don’t get angry with me little one, you know I cherish your passion and wisdom, even if you are misguided and feminine sometimes.
Friday
Claire Snedeker
First of all, I’ve told you not to call me or any other grown adults “little one”. Second, explain what being “feminine” is and why it’s a bad thing.
Friday
Claire Snedeker
Plus, why should you cherish the “passion and wisdom” of someone whose only role in life is to be an indentured servant for a man and to “earn my keep” by cleaning and popping out babies?
Friday
Stephenson Billings
Well, popping out babies isn’t necessary, but women have traditionally proven themselves best at caring for children. Despite Mother Billings’ problem, I believe I am a great example of that, cranky Claire!
so how was Thanksgiving at the Sneds?
Friday
Claire Snedeker
If “popping out babies isn’t necessary”, how do you explain this quote of yours?
“the woman must apply herself to a small amount of household upkeep and child bearing to pay off her dues.”
One of these days you’re going to pay for these outdated, sexist views of yours, dickwad.
Friday
Stephenson Billings
Don’t you have some chores to do?
Friday
Claire Snedeker
Is this what you ask when you know you’ve lost an argument? You’re a pathetic man. What sorts of chores would I have to do at 10 PM anyway?
Friday
Stephenson Billings
Claire, I remember the good old days when you were civil and decent. What happened to you???
Friday
Claire Snedeker
Why is that you never answer my questions?
Friday
Stephenson Billings
You never answer mine and I try so hard to be nice to you. I used to treat you softly because you were a teen, but my conscientiousness is wearing thin.
Friday
Claire Snedeker
Are you sure you didn’t treat me “softly” because I’m just a stupid female?
Friday
Stephenson Billings
You’re not stupid, just weirdly obsessed with felines and the Hanson Brothers.
Friday
Claire Snedeker
Who are the Hanson Brothers?
Friday
Stephenson Billings
Hhahahaa, you are funny. You should write for Cracked.com. You’re probably more into Lady Gaga these days.
Friday
Claire Snedeker
As usual, you didn’t answer my question. WHO are the Hanson Brothers? And no, I don’t give two shits about Lady Gaga.
Friday
Stephenson Billings
I am not going to pretend I know enough to explain teen music to you. Do you have Google? You could always try that. Do you ever, every smile???
Friday
Claire Snedeker
Yet you’re going to assume I listen to them? Dude, I listen to classical music and showtunes (Les Miserables). I have absolutely no interest in Lady Gaga, the Jonas Brothers, whatever Hanson guys you’re referring to, Justin Bieber, etc.
Why are you assuming I don’t smile? Have you ever seen me?
Friday
Stephenson Billings
You just have such a negative attitude about EVERYTHING! It worries me, I genuinely hope you’re happy in life.
Friday
Claire Snedeker
You hope I’m happy in life? Even though life for a woman, according to you, is that of an indentured servant who has to earn her keep by cleaning and making babies?
Friday
Stephenson Billings
Yes, I want to make sure your happy.
Friday
Claire Snedeker
Did you even read my second sentence?
Friday
Stephenson Billings
Why does it always have to be about radical politics with you? Why cant we have a normal conversation?

Friday
Stephenson Billings
See, you’re much worse than me about not answering questions!
Hypocrite! But I’m still looking out for you, kiddo.
Friday
Claire Snedeker
I ANSWERED your question with a STATEMENT saying that the REASON it’s all about “radical politics” with me, at least in this thread, is that the thread is ABOUT radical politics (your view on women).
Friday
Stephenson Billings
Thanksgiving, your happiness, etc. all those are topics which you never responded to me about. Don’t throw one of your famous tantrums my way, Cranky, I am getting fed up with your kneejerk liberalism.
Friday
Claire Snedeker
I didn’t respond to them because they were UNRELATED TO THE ISSUE AT HAND.
Friday
Claire Snedeker
“Famous tantrums”? Please quote one. If they’re so “famous” surely you can find one. I can find a few of yours, however:
“ALLS I WANT TO DO IS HELP YOU PEOLE AND YOU JUSTB SLANDER AND ATTACK ME CONSTANT AND WHY????? BECAUSE YOU”RE ALL INTO SEX AND DRUGS AND WHATNOT AND I STAND UP FOR A MORAL NATION OF THE RIGHTEOUS YOU WILL ALL BURN IN THE DEPTHS OF SATANS LAIR IF YOU DONT REPENT> I DONT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN BUT I AM TRYING TO HELP IF YOU DONT WANT TO LISTEN THEN DONT. NOW GO AWAY AWAY AWAY!”
“CLAIRE YOUR DUMB COMMENTS CANNOT INTIMIDATE ME AND I KNOW WHAT IM DOING SO STOP GETTING ME RILED UP SO YOU CAN GET PAGE HITS OR COMMENTS OR WHATEVER ITS LOOKING SO DEPSERTE YOU PART I CANY HARDLY TELL WHAT THE WORLD IS TO YOU FILKS NO PLEASE ANSWER ME THAT SO ENOUGH? I AM JUST TIRED AND SICK OF YOU ALL SHOWING NO LOVE, NO KINDNESS NO WISDOM.”
“Did you somehow miss the part where I said, “I will try to answer your lengthy diatribe when I have a moment.” DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS? I DO NOT HAVE TIME NOW!”
“CALM DOWN!!!!”
and the even more famous:
“CALM DOWN CALM DOWN!!!!!”
my personal favorite:
“CALM DOWN CALM DOWN CALM DOWN !!!!!!!” (from confessionwire)
“STOP HARASSING MY MOMMA, SHE HAS ENOUGH PROBLEMS WITHOUT YOUR PERVERTS SLANDERING HER ONLINE. SHE IS A LOVELY WOMAN.”
Friday
Stephenson Billings
Wow, you must have been intensely cruel to force me to react that way!
So Claire, what would you like to see for my next Christwire article?

Yes, we do share a culture and a blood; I never denied that. But you know what? I also have Native American blood. As for a “race chaser”, this is the first time I’ve heard of that.
You know what I find discomforting? The fact that you are discomforted by seeing a white woman in a car with an “afro”. Why are you so bothered by that? Need I remind you that we live in the 21st Century? Black people are no longer considered below us, you realize that, right?

I need to keep my privacy intact and of course what you’re proposing violates all ehtics and legality and truly makes you look like a bitter mean old *unt.
