We only left the British Empire because, at the time, Parliament (and the King) were being complete richards to the colonists. Might be interesting to see how history would be different if the British nobility had treated the colonists like human beings instead of a piggy bank. |

Lol you know I'm only playin' right? I condemn colonisation, I think it's a breach of human rights. Though it is fact that America uses English as their primary language because it was once partly owned by Britain. Just a lil' history |

But Middle English and Modern English still contain numerous structures and vocabulary that are uniquely English. |
