It's still technically English, but it's a harsh bastardization of it.

Like Old English is still Old ENGLISH, but we can barely understand it now. Although American and like England English isn't quite so different, they are still very different now.
 

Because we Americans are afraid of what the Canadians and South Americans would do to us if we started calling our version "American."

What...you've never seen the stuff they call Bacon up there? What if they subbed that stuff on us...

After a few months of that, plus a dose of Poutine injected into our fast food chains, and Americans would be keeling over dead by the dozens a day...and then rolling around and crushing other Americans to death.
 


Lift = Elevator
Flat = Apartment
Well Seasoned = Salt and Pepper
Cooked = Boiled
???? = Dentist
Light Fog = Total Eclipse of the Sun

I think that says it all.

I already knew 1/3 of that list, which is probably more than most other individuals resing within the US of A.
