If the fans of BE want to win these things, they need to work on the Indians, not the Americans. (The US doesn't look to the UK for language lessons. We fight amongst ourselves.) Of course, even winning the "world-wide English" wars may not be enough to influence Americans.
BTW - Does French or German have these problems?

They carry no legal clout, but where they go, the french language usually follows. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acad%C3%A9mie_fran%C3%A7aise#Functions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acad%C3%A9mie_fran%C3%A7aise#Fu...
- avibryant 16y agoThe "French language" may follow, but the Quebecois sure don't... (so, yes, French has exactly the same issue).
