Well, well..same old crap being spread by the John and his Turds.

Good news story for The John...the Oxford Dictionary has added some new words and included is 'Merican.

Looks like I was ahead of my time, although I may write them and advise a change to 'merican.

I'm delighted to know the Oxford University Press folks included the
word. I agree it should be * 'merican *

You must be blissful! Someone agrees with you on something. Oh happy day!

For you, *'merican* is appropriate, just as is 'kanaduh' for Donnie.

I don't know anything can stop the evolution of a living language, even
if that path leads it to "corruption."

That seems like a strange stance from an english major.
Isn't your job to educate and preserve the language? If we can just
make up words, ignore grammar and eschew proper spelling, why bother
to study the language at all.
At a certain point we will have placated the lowest common denominator
and devolved to pointing and grunting.

Ah, so you've been to a TeaParty or Trump rally!

Seriously, English has evolved tremendously in the centuries since its
Germanic and Anglo-Saxon origins. It is unlikely you would have
understood many of the "English" words spoken by my favorite lady of
history,Eleanor of Acquitaine, and for many reasons.

Here's a sentence or two from Beowulf:

Sona þæt gesawon snottre ceorlas,
þa ðe mid Hroðgare on holm wliton,
þæt wæs yðgeblond eal gemenged,
brim blode fah. Blondenfeaxe,
gomele ymb godne, ongeador spræcon
þæt hig þæs æðelinges eft ne wendon
þæt he sigehreðig secean come
mærne þeoden; þa ðæs monige gewearð
þæt hine seo brimwylf abroten hæfde.
