It's called 'English' (note the single quotes there ), not 'American'. If you don't like it, learn Spanish or something!

It's English we speak in America. And besides, the English spoken in the UK is not the original English that they originally spoke. All countries languages change over time and the English in the UK and the English in America have changed. Remember, English in America used to be the same as the English in the UK since America was started by mostly people from the UK. So saying UK English is correct and English in America is American is just so wrong. Both the UK and America speak English. It's just a different variation of English. So really, UK vs. American English is just so yesterday.
