      Better is subjective. If one measured the merits of the language on its rich cultural history, then British (as usual) wins. However, if it’s measured by accessibility for simpletons then the US (as usual) wins.

        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.
