ACTA RIP....

[Omnipotent]

I had always been told that American English was closer to how English was spoken and used in the 18th century due to their later adoption of standardised spelling

That is exactly how swedish is spoken in Finland atm(there are two official languages in Finland, finish and swedish). We might even use words as spoken by Vikings 1000 years ago, and long forgotten by the "evolved" swedish in Sweden...boy that was a lot of "schh"-sounds in that :lol:

During my English post graduate work I read that due to demographics and evolutionary concerns, linguists now treat American English as the dominant or base language and England English, along with all the other flavors of it (Jamaican, Scottish, Australian, etc) are now subset dialects. "Amerircanish," for good or ill, has taken over.

You mean American linguists do this.
