    Are you suggesting that US English isn’t derived from British English? Or are you specifically talking about the history over the last couple hundred years? The US isn’t that old, and also has a rich cultural history…

    Maybe an example of how Britain’s rich cultural history has better shaped the language is in order.
















  • In the U.S., most salary jobs are spoken about in annual terms. Job listing’s list annual salary, offer letters list annual pay, my employee portal lists annual pay, etc. My pay stubs are biweekly though. Pretty much nothing is ever described in monthly terms, at least not that I’ve ever seen.
