Hi alexander -- on Feb 15 2017 at 23:01, you wrote: ak> The American English (which IMHO is conquering the word) was ak> significantly overhauled in the US. The American English is not English, imo. It's a quite different variant of English, and should probably be called "American". Canadian English has been heavily influenced by our proximity to the USA (do you realize that a very large proportion of us live within 200KM of the Canada/US border?) and as a result what we speak has elements of both American and English, with some distinct Canadianisms as well!! American is NOT conquering the world (not word!), it only thinks it is! Cheers...
