My husband was watching an English television program the other day when one of the guests on the show commented on how a lot of other countries take English as their own language whereas only people from England should have English as their main language.
I was quite indignant at this at first but then I thought ...hey, she's right... we should have our own language! In my opinion our language though based on English should be called Australian.
What do others think?

I have found that just by selecting English as your language is not enough. Usually, your spell-check on your computer immediately correct all the words to American spelling. This irritates me no end when I am typing something important as I have to go back and correct into what I consider to be REAL English!
