Borrowing it Sir ? Why the population base of North America
originaly started as a British colony. Throw in some Frenchies,
a few spanish, and and a handfull of  Dutch. It's been over 200
years now since we decided the British way of life was too
restrictive and you guy's just can't seem to get over it. We have
forgiven you though.
    Now as far as "we" just borrowing your language that just is
not true. The "American" language is evolving at a tremendous rate.
We are absorbing the worlds homeless, in large numbers annualy,
and as a consequence it is becoming a true multi-national language.
     America ! We are the world.
