I will point this out as well, that there is more than just the UK and Great Britain which speak British English. There are a lot of Commonwealth nations. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, India (largest population on the planet), etc. which all speak British English. As an American - I can also take your point that it being British English vs American English, just not the quantity of native speakers.

Canadians speak Canadian English it's a distinct dialect, just like Australian English. The King doesn't get to claim the kids in this dispute.

Canadian here, our English is a weird incest baby between British English, American English, and a little bit of French. I would spell it 'cosy' here in Canada though

come on guys, we all know that the so called "British English" is just the purest way for spellings and etc
and lets just ignore slangs so we dont take in POSH version.

but British English will take in American words when its something was newly created by American in first place unless its something that contradicts the rule of English language.

Basically Daniel Webster, took the Oxford English dictionary, and dropped the superfluous "U" from words (colour = color) and changed "s" to "z" (organise = organize) on some words .. there may have been some drops or adding of "E".

It was already polluted by the rule of French nobility and then changed more when the upper class started speaking with the posh accent to distinguish themselves from the nouveau rich. English has always been a Frankenstein's monster of a language.

That is one of the biggest pivot points yeah. It was a deliberate de-Britishing. Which would have probably happened on its own, but yah know some times you've got an axe to grind and the contacts to get a dictionary published.

Accent wise a lot of younger Canadians sound almost indistinguishable to me from Americans, until they use certain words...

of which is the correct way to pronounced them as i learned in my medical school
