"Arse" may be British English, but "Go fuck yourself" is American English!

Actually it's not. And its not British English but English, the clue is in the name of my country, England, but you are right, there is American English.

American English is taking over the world and leaving British English in the dustbin of history (calling a car hood a bonnet is one good reason, and spelling words like "color" with a "u" is another).

It'll all be Chinese English in the future and we'll still be speaking English over here long after you've become Spanish speakers.

Shit, American English is taking over the world. More people speak American English as a first or second language than even Chinese. It's also the standard language for aviation. British English will only be found in old libraries or museums. Ditch it while you can.

Ever thought, "Then were will that leave us?". Especially since you'll be speaking Spanglish.
p.s.
You appear to confuse written with spoken in your thoughts, as where can you hear the "u"? Or do you actually say 'color' over there? You think the world thinks in taps or faucets?

America has assimilated more languages than you can count, and that's why we have become the most dynamic country the world has ever witnessed!

No, thats called English. What you did was use it as a trade language to deal with all the different language speakers within your country, who mainly still keep their languages to themselves, its why you stripped out things like the irony and the ambiguity that makes English such fun to use. English is the assimilation of two languages, French Norman and Saxon, and its worked in a most effective way, i.e. it can easily assimilate words and phrases from other languages and it can be spoken badly and still be understood by most.

You speak as a fool, a fool who does not understand that British English is a dying language like French.

Since its all English I think there's no fear of that. Brushing-up on your Spanish?

It is not all English. Pretty soon you'll have language police like the French, making sure people put a "u" in color!

Is that why the Americans want to make English the official language and we don't bother with such nonsense.

American English is becoming the wave of the future, and nothing the limeys do can prevent it!

We don't even care! Its only fun winding-up the Yanks who obviously do take pride in a language they inherited.

Everything is inherited, dope, but Americans take things to a higher level!
