To: Hebrews 11:6

They don’t call our language “American.” They call it “English.” Illogical sentence structure is not our fault.

Illogical sentence structure is not our fault.

True, but the Americans' spirit of innovation so extolled by PapaNew did not extend for some reason unknown to a reworking fundamental of that tongue inherited; if it had, we would have become separated from England by more than our language common.

Nevertheless, English is taking over as the language of the world to an extent unparalleled since Greek or the language of Babel. I'm always astounded at how many around the world speak English difficult so well as their language second. It is perhaps one more sign of the nearing Times End.
