Now let me think about American history, perhaps you can put me right.
The USA was formed by a huge influx of mainly Europeans speaking many different languages, so in the end a single language had to be determined for its future.
Now, was it a toss up between German and English, my old grey cells seemed to remember something like that......? ๐คญ
Being English, I feel quite humbled that you chose (not personally) my country's language.....
So yes, Great Britain, Rule Britannia.......๐
