heh.
I guess it helps that more than half a millenium ago the fine folks on those islands tried to learn French real hard [by virtue of being conquered by the French] - and thus a healthy subset of the English language (especially the more newfangled words) has thus become ... erm ... French? ;-)
Doh, i misspoke. What happened _really_ is that those friendly folks let the French in as guests, and during that time of mutual understanding the French learned and adopted half of the English language - greatly easing communication today.
( And apparently there was some mingling with germanic tribes as well, a few thousand years before that. Back then those germanic savages were taught bits of proper English as well. )
( And then those folks forked their language into a "British" and "US" versions. It is forwards compatible: if you speak British English then by definition you can speak US English, but never the other way around. US English was then taught to indian tribes - who, tens of thousands of years ago, happened to have spoken the same language that the ancestors of the germanic tribes spoke. [Or perhaps they spoke ancient Japanese - memories are a bit fuzzy, records incomplete, and the issue is not fully settled yet.] Anyway, it came around in a happy global circle and they all speak English now! ;)
[ Except the celts, who insist that they were around even sooner than that - starting in the happy times when you could walk on feet from Scotland to Sweden with only a battle axe in your hand, when you could slide stones weighing tons down an ice glacier and ship them to flatland to build funny stone circles - and from whom everyone else on this continent learned all the things worth learning. ]
