It's our language now!

A while back I related how I had been mocked by an English person for using the word “burglarize”. I ended by saying: Okay, whatever. Brits have been mocking the American language for centuries now. Let them go ahead. We all know who won that argument. Since then I've been comforted by that thought. I smile to myself and say “It's ours now, we have you outnumbered.” But for the last few years this has always been followed by another thought: On that logic, it actually belongs to the Indians. And yes, it probably does and we just haven't noticed yet. But we will.
