A final point - with tongue firmly in cheek
The "English" language has changed and evolved over many years, to become what it is today.
We may not like the influences that come from North America but it's natural evolution - I
detest the way in which the verb/adverb
'Like' is now inserted, often more than once, into every single line spoken by the younger generation - completely ludicrous & ignorant in my mind.
Not like
In Shakespear's time we would have been saying words like 'prithee' 'thee' 'thy' thou' & 'forsooth' - these and many others replaced over the years by the natural course of events.
