An American was criticizing an Englishman about the terminology used to describe the parts of a car. The American says it is properly called a hood and not a bonnet. He went on to say that it is properly called a trunk and not a boot. He then said the rubber parts of the wheel are spelled tire not tyre. He finished up by saying after all we Americans invented the automobile*.
The Englishman replied, “yes, that may be true but we English invented the language".
Your point is well taken. Let’s cross swords or, keyboards on another subject.
* Actually, I think Benz invented it in 1886
