    The number of people in my town that think our language is American, Mexicans speak Mexican, all Asian people are Chinese, and any random combination of cities/countries are part of the United States makes this very plausible.

          Sure, but we’ve been in this timeline since the Escalator Ride to Hell so it’s not, like, that unusual.

          Heck, Pizzagate was a no-shit, for real thing these chowderheads yapped about for years. Maybe still do.

      Like you could say American is a sub dialect of English with it further broken down into accents. But I doubt most folks think of it that way, especially folks who say “I speak American” outside of an argument with the English.
