Language is anarchy. You really ought to get out of the Chemistry Building
more.

Language is a means of communication - consequently, if the other guy can
understand what you are saying, it can't be that anarchical. If an inventor
invents something, is it somehow not a proper invention until other people
have named it, and put it in the dictionary ?

In that case we are humble and regular in Britain, as we do name our own
accents. See posts further up.

In Germany people also name their own accents, e.g. Bavarian, Swabian,
Frankfurterisch...

Mertsedes, with emphasis on second syllable. The second syllable (with the
first "e") is a longer version of the e in hedge.

Not necessarily so. American is quite close to Zummerzet (Somerset, SW
England) and is the language many of the early settlers spoke. Thus it has
been said that Shakespeare performed in the US is closer to how it sounded
in his day than when performed in England (especially by the National
Shakespeare Company in clipped, cut-glass accents.. ;-) )

English English has just moved on more since then...after all, nobody to
emulate :)
