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?

Wot a load of cobblers!
English is a bastard language at the best, and over the centuries has grown and adopted words from all over the colonies and elsewhere. It is a dynamic and still growing language, and that is what makes it so great. If it was confined to England it would die pretty quick.
