More of your fairy tales. Of course mere humans couldn't think themselves out of a paper bag, right?

Originally posted by RJHindsExcept when the English make it up, its 'proper English'. When Americans make it up, its not English, but and American dialect of English and as far as the English are concerned, is 'incorrect'. You also incorrectly talked about the British, when in reality Britain contains the Scots, the Welsh and some Irish who are all very well aware that they don't speak proper English and are proud of it.
The British think they speak proper English, but they don't. It is all made up as we go along. It changes with time like evil-lution. 😏
Originally posted by RJHindsIt looks like you might be on the point of an intellectual break through RJ. With the use of a sentence "It changes with time like Evolution " ,I think you have nearly grasped the concept !

Useful phrases/words remain. The unused (not fit for purpose) are discarded.

You are a linguistics expert after all!
Originally posted by wolfgang59Yes, and it is natural intelligence by us beings that select what is used and what is discarded. It is not done by the roll of dice or any other unguided process. 😏

Perhaps you can cite some evidence or give an example?
Let's start with US English ... explain the "guided process" which caused the changes there.
Originally posted by wolfgang59Because of the nature of languages that are constantly being used, words are created and changed, according to need or desire by the intelligent beings that speak them, thus the guided process. U.S. English also has included words from other languages due to the mixing of the people from many nations. As a word becomes more commonly used by the people it is eventually included in dictionaries and becomes considered proper U.S. English by the grammer authorities of the Language.

The British include new English words too, like garage and aluminum, which they pronounce differently because of the different break down of the syllables.
