The American language is the language spoken by people who live in the United States of America, who do not typically learn any other language. Actually "English" is only spoken in the United States. The language now spoken in Great Britain has only two phrases left in it: "Spam, spam, spam, spam, wonderful spam" and "This is an ex-parrot." Known as "speaking American," this bizarre display of ignorance tends to amuse, though rarely heard in eateries outside of McDonald's.

  • The American language is the language spoken by people who live in the United States of America, who do not typically learn any other language. Actually "English" is only spoken in the United States. The language now spoken in Great Britain has only two phrases left in it: "Spam, spam, spam, spam, wonderful spam" and "This is an ex-parrot." Known as "speaking American," this bizarre display of ignorance tends to amuse, though rarely heard in eateries outside of McDonald's. American was spread via a secret U.S. Government plot during the 1970s and 1980s through the widespread adoption of spell checkers and install programs which provide no other option for language choice, especially not English. American typing style is characterized by excessive wear and tear on the "z" key, cobwebs on the useless "`"/"~" key (though the almost equally useless "u" key comes in at a close second), and odd pronunciation of almost everything including the letter Z (which is supposed to be called "izzard").
