 America is Ruining the English Language

America is ruining the English language, even the Americans say that. How are they ruining the language? It wasn’t until the American impertinence of 1776 that Americans seem to have begun ruining English. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales  complaint about the fact that “people tend to invent all sorts of nouns and verbs and make words that shouldn’t be”. However some words American used 200 years ago are now adopted into the usage of the motherland, So he also uses words that shouldn’t be used. This what a lot of people agree with, that the problem is that Americans seem to change the language, but language changes inevitable. It happens in all languages. So Americans are defiantly ruining the language English, if you believe that extending the language to new uses and new speakers ruins it and certainly, if you believe that change is ruin.
