Why It Should Be Called "English"

 * 1) First of all, the entire video is nonsensical, as Language Simp said that the UK doesn't have rights to name the language, just because they were cruel to a quarter of the world and that the USA was much more admirable than the UK; well, we all know that the British colonised a quarter of the world, enslaved native peoples, complained about immigrants by discriminating against Afro-Caribbeans and forced them to speak English, but language naming is something different, and even the UK has rights to name the language
 * 2) * On top of that, the UK has also influenced the world in a good way, like Shakespeare, Ruyard Kipling, J.K. Rowling, Beatrix Potter, Winnie the Pooh and others, and even the Walt Disney company made adaptations of some British literature, like Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Also. The UK and US has always been allies ever since, as they fought together during the First World War, the Second World War, the Islamic Wars, the Cold War, the jungle wars and the Pacific wars, and the UK isnalso one of the most powerful and profitable nations, along with the US, China and Japan and if it weren't enough, then the UN and Nato wouldn't have existed and all of Europe would've been controlled by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union
 * 3) The segment featuring the TTS voices stereotypically portrayed British people as mean, which was offensive
 * 4) He thinks that the US keeps calling it English because of British propaganda, though actually, it's because the language originated in England. Plus, most Americans are of English colonial descent, despite the US being ethnically diverse.
 * 5) He thinks that English (or American, as he calls it) is the default language of the world and that the United States is the default country of the world, when in reality, there is no 'default' language or country of the world and we should learn other languages to communicate with the world more easier, as English is a hard language and some people in non-English-speaking countries still have little-to-no English, and even if they do, they have bad English grammar.
 * 6) Finally, he thinks that American English is the standard form of English, though actually, British English is the standard form of English, as the language, as mentioned before, originated in England

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Language Simp had a good point that the British colonists was being evil to the world and they mistreated slaves and that America is one of the most influential nations on the planet, due to fast food corporations (McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, Pizza Hut and Starbucks), Hollywood films, American sitcoms, American cartoons from FOX, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network etc., American brands and the Internet
