Exactly why it is funny. USA however did, alter it in format a bit over the years and not many in the USA speak it with a British accent what, itself only refined it in that Country from the wave of Anglo-Saxon within Brittan.
lol at the "birthplace of" however, we did alter it in several ways and gave it plenty of uh, fancy accents that, combine and connect it to many other countries. Most of our spoken English anyway, not many Americans have the British accent attached to it anymore though, most of our known accents come from groups of settlers from other countries, only a few spots in the USA have evolved into their own, Completely new accents when speaking English! Anglo-Saxon language.
A new wealthy sector emerged during the industrial revolution. These citizens were born with a low birth rank and they were desperately seeking for a way to distinguish themselves from others. They wanted to show by speech that they were much more than simple middle class or lower middle class citizens. They started to use the prestigious non-rhotic** pronunciation in order to demonstrate their new upper-class status. This is where the "posh British accent" comes from.
Most of us speak in regional accents.
John Adams sounds like a mix of South West England and Irish.
President Trump has just signed an executive order making English the official language of America.
America is the birthplace of the English language, so this was long overdue. We shall not forget Ben Franklin writing and signing the declaration of independence and the constitution in ENGLISH during his presidency, nor the fact that another great American, Jesus, wrote the Bible in ENGLISH.
Aramaic was already a dead language when Jesus was born. He probably spoke some Greek, possibly Taiwanese, but quickly learned the only way to spread The Gospel was speaking the universal language of English. I'd like to think He preached while riding His donkey adorned in an American flag.
Wait…does the EO mandate that Spanish is removed from the customer service queue?😂
"Press waan for Engish, saar!"
I hope so
I hope so!
maybe from government lines, corps can do whatever they want still.
You've never taken any time to actually fin out per definitions exactly what that THING is that is called ""United States"", have you???
IF you ha, you would instinctively know that this EO is NOT Applicable to any of the States, only to the FEDERATION....
America is not the birthplace of the English language!
It is for the US English Language.

We got our accents from Scots/Irish.
A lot of old US movies had the Trans-Atlantic accent.
And Benjamin Franklin was never president.
Correct
I would prefer it to be the American language. We ain't got to pay lip service to the English who won't acknowledge that our languages are different.
Same here ---- American.
So now the US has an Language, next step is to have an own Currency, since the Dollar is an made up currency by the Fed.
You might be on to something here…standby for Ft Knox audit. Gold ends the fed!
No, a universal commodity with tangible value ---- AKA "money",
not an IOU currency.
Chicken eggs would be good if they had a longer shelf life.
LOL
Next step: rename our language "Americanesse" and accuse the Brits of stealing their English language from ours.
Yes! We need reparations from them on this.
😆
Brits only speak their form of English because of other northern countries (Anglo-Saxon) countries.
Technically ----- Standard American English ( SAE )

The theory is Americans speak very close to an older English accent.
The standard British accent was the one that changed significantly in the last two centuries while the American accent stayed more or less the same.

Americans today pronounce some words more like Shakespeare than Brits do… but it’s in 18th-Century England where they’d really feel at home

So many people falling for yet another silly post by three year letterman 🤣

Thank you Mr President. The UK is in shambles
😂😂😂
Parody.
I don't think Jesus wrote the Bible in English.
He didn't write it at all, and didn't he speak Aramaic or something like that?
What is this?
Coach says he did, and he’s a licensed notary public, so that makes it true.
Of course. Sorry!
Aramaic was already a dead language when Jesus was born. He probably spoke some Greek, possibly Taiwanese, but quickly learned the only way to spread The Gospel was speaking the universal language of English. I'd like to think He preached while riding His donkey adorned in an American flag.
Good, because I don't want to have to press 1 for spanish and 2 for English anymore.
I'm actually super pumped for this executive order
The Funny thing about all of this is that His EO is only good an enforceable within the Federation, an has ZERO EFFECT on or In any of the States.....
Everyone here cheering this on is a FOOL of Major Proportions, believing that the U.S. Government OWNS the States an can boss them around....
The Truth is that the U.S. Government cannot Exist without the States, they Created the U.S. Government, it's an AGENT of the States....
It is the REPRESENTATIVE of the STATES....
Each State is a Nation unto itself, an as such can make their own Official Language by a Vote of all its Citizens....
U.S. Citizens should purposely be Excluded by Law from that Vote, but the Shitty Communist 14th Amendment stands in the way.....
We choose our own laws! Choose our own leaders! And choose our own Weights and Measures!!!!

And do our own thing with the English language ....
