I thought they were all descended from the King's English! ;) Something I've actually heard come out of someone's mouth: "If English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me!" The guy simply didn't grasp the concept that Jesus spoke Aramaic, and that an English that he'd recognize didn't show up until 1500 years later. People think that TV rots the mind, but I think that being American does a better job.
