Something tells me you have never been to England, and are being
extremely sarcastic ;). There is no such thing as British English. In
most parts of England (I found out recently) the dialect changes
significantly when you go to another town 20 miles away. The official
dialect is the dialect that was spoken in the triangle between the towns
of oxford, cambride, and *(I forget). And then there's Geordi ;)
I don't think the Scots would think very highly of any idea that Scots
is an imitation of British English ;) But anyway, American English
didn't come from British English. Both American English and (modern)
British English camed from (older) British English. But the British
dropped 'got' and seem to think that God has never said 'got' ;)
Don't even get me started on linguistics and out of trivia mode ;)
