Do you think the American's are going to start using correct English words instead of their own. I don't think so, so why do we use theirs ?
It even happends when you go abroad and foreigners say they speak English but they don't they speak American.
Any other country than ours wouldn't let it happen.

You shouldn't have colonized us.
Maybe we'd be speaking French or German then.
On a side note, Quebec is doing the same to the French language. It just so happens when you go to France and try to speak French the French get so miffed they ask you to speak English.
