And yet there are places in America whose regional accents are closer to English was at the time those places were settled than Britain is now.

Even more ironic is that My Fair Lady is an American film based on a play by an Irish Brit (George Bernard Shaw, Pygmalion).

I think it's ironic that language which is used as the primary form of communication for one's whole life still requires training in University.

Perhaps there truly is no such thing as proper English.
