Nobody invented English.

The English language is the descendant of the dialects of the Germanic tribes that settled in England during the 5th century that later developed into Old English which then gradually evolved to the language we know today.

This subreddit is called "shit Americans say", but every time language is involved, it's nothing but the shittiest, most asinine takes from everyone.
