Why It Should Be Called Wretched

 * 1) First of all, the entire video is nonsensical, as Language Simp claims that the United Kingdom does not have rights to name the language all because they were cruel to a quarter of the world and that the United States is much better than the United Kingdom (which is subjective), when in reality, it is called English because it comes from England (which is in the United Kingdom) and people speak it because of England, and the United States is not responsible for the language.
 * 2) *Not to mention, at the time the colonization happened, it was just England, as the United States was colonised in the early 1600s and the first state to be a union of England, Scotland, and Wales was the Kingdom of Great Britain, which was formed in 1707, while the first state to be known as the United Kingdom was formed in 1801.
 * 3) *In addition to this, England and the United Kingdom in general has been influential in a good way, as it gave a lot of places actual governments to say the least, and has been generally reasonable in politics.
 * 4) The segment featuring the TTS voices stereotypically portrayed Britons as cruel, even though they are not necessarily cruel, and again, it was England alone that colonized the United States.
 * 5) He claims that the United States only calls the language English because of British propaganda, when in reality it is because, as said before, the language came from England.
 * 6) He thinks that English 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. While it is true that English is the closest thing to a global language and the United States is the world's sole superpower, English is still not by any means the "default" language and the United States is actually only the third most populous country.
 * 7) Language Simp also claims that American English is the standard form of English, even though British English is the standard form of English, as the language, as mentioned before, originated in England.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Language Simp does have a good point that the British Empire has done many cruel things and the United States is very influential; however, neither of these things change the fact that English originated in England.
