So, since we don't speak your favorite language, you're going to go trolling so you can tell us we're doing it wrong? I'm not particularly fond of French, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go to a board where people speak French occasionally and tell them all to STFU and that US English is the One True Language.
What the hell did French ever do to you?
rufio:
Nothing; it's just not as aesthetically pleasing to me as other languages. I don't have anything against someone preferring one language to another, really, as long as no one is telling anyone else what they should be speaking.
For the record, English is not my favorite language in certain respects either (mostly phonology and orthography), though the fact that it's largely analytic is somewhat attractive to me.

You are taking this way too personally. Did I say that that?
Why do you think I am trolling? ???
I have a feeling I am not welcome here so will take myself off forthwith. Although it is a shame that someone can't come onto a thread called the GRAMMAR POLICE and air a few grievances about the state of the English language, whether it be US or UK.
You can all put your shields and swords away.

A flounce, so soon? :(
