[Brainchild]

Any large amount of belligerence towards American English vs British English or vice-versa that I'm seeing seems to have huge racist overtones to it. A speaker of one dialect will obviously think of other dialects as strange-sounding, but saying that differences in American English proves that Americans love to steal things? That's not only absurd, it's offensive and insensible. Feel as you will about "color" vs "colour" or what have you, but if you want to insult an entire people for the language they speak, take it elsewhere.
