As you know, I, Harlan Ellsion, that God amongst men, that genius of the written word and all round suer of the wrong, have copyrighted all ideas from the moment just after the Big Bang until the End of Time(tm). In conjunction with her Maj - Queen Elizabeth II - I am now issuing a DMCA complaint against any American who continues to use English (the alphabet having been copyrighted by me also).
If you wish to continue using "American-English" then you must pay royalties to me and Her Maj - Queen Elizabeth II. Rates are included below:
Up to 500 words - $1
500 - 5,000 words - $10
5,0000 words and above $50
I think you'll agree that these fees are quite reasonable, and that I, Harlan Ellison, deserve every penny because I am a god amongst men and all round perfect human being.
Yours
Harlan *God of all* Ellison
