Re: [OT] Is English just badly pronounced French?

The English language originates from a melding of many sources with

"American English" is a sub-version that has its own unique spellings
and meanings for words. Partly because (despite hating the British
rule) they have stubbornly stuck to out-dated versions of words, as
well as out-dated measurement systems, that the original Pilgrims
brought with them rather than staying contemporary with *real* English.

I remember an English professor said that American English is more pure
English than what the Brits use, but I do not remember if he elaborated
or not.
