Pioneering

Today whilst listening to a series of lectures on the history of the English language when I learned why American English is indeed far superior to our 'true' English ancestors: making up whatever you need without concern for established grammar. I have done so in the past, as you may remember, but I think this example is truly, dare I say, the bees knees. An American financier told a British traveler, "Sir, If I should have done so, I should not only have doubled and trebled, but I should have fourbled and fivebled my money!" That's a big F U to establishment.
