Okay, so one of the other options. I was just rambling with suggestions. But hey, I would not say no if we wanted to call it VRian.

Everyone knows Americans don't speak English anyways.

Americans don't have a culture; it's simply a marketing exercise.
Let them continue to degrade the language with their awful neologisms..
(yes, I know, that's polite for they just can't spell; verb that noun, and noun that verb)
..and we shall continue, serene.

in 100 years you should have changed the majority of the words by then, so then you may call it american but for the time being your speaking english weather you want to or not

What surprises me is that despite fierce fighting, the following page is still called "Maize"

"TRRISM" "NUCULAR" and "AYE-RAK" always go down well

Seriously, Americans, when you talk about middle eastern politics, half the time we think you're talking bout this place:

How is innovation "degredation"? That process is one of main reasons why English is so relevant on a global scale, because of how incredibly flexible it is! And that has nothing to do with spelling - that's a grammatical process!

We should rename it once England is destroyed.
English should remain English. If you think that you don't speak it, feel free to define your new language with a name.
If you want that to be an internationally-used name, don't use a word that already has other meanings for millions of people, such as 'American'.
Don't presume to speak on behalf of English, however.

It should be called the International language. The scientists, aviators, and a whole lot of other groups agreed, don't bother them about it.
