Having been married to a Brit, I can attest to the fact that there is a difference between American English and the Queen's English. Enough of a difference to call it "ours." What was once inherited has evolved. Part of that evolution stems from the diverse populace of this nation as well as the variances in language found in it's regional differences.

Perhaps you should ask this question of some so called Brits. Seems to me half of them wouldn't know how to speak correct English if they tried!
