Do they teach American language in Primary schools nowadays?

I work for an American company. I've had to teach myself how to write in American!

When I worked for on American company I put the $ commentary in American and the £ commentary in English. In the years I worked there I was never queried on it. Probably because the Americans never thought they needed to read the £ version. Exchange differences didn't cross their minds

What about 'can I get' - illiterate yobs yobs corrupting the English language. There's no hope.

I use "can I get". I understand what I'm asking, as does the person listening to me. The essence of effective communication

English will continue to evolve (or corrupt if you prefer). Always has, always will.
