Yes, I know. My previous mail was specifically trying to address this, and I was trying to say that an individual American's destruction of the language is not some type of fruitful evolution which we should think is valid. It is simply poor English skills.
"American English" does not exist as you describe. It is not some type of evolution of the language. This is simply a lack of education about the language. There is no excuse.
(Of course an an Australian, I really detest of lot the American changes to the language; for instance 'Customize' instead of 'Customise'. So I am not exactly a neutral party)
