I’m sorry, using the place where English came from as an example of modern English usage is somehow against some imaginary rule of argument? What a take.
Pretty sure George Washington invented English, it was right about the time he was teaching the Wampanoag about thanksgiving and the Iroquois about federal democracy.
I am clearly just talking nonsense. I actually didn’t know that meatballs were called that in the UK, so I guess it’s perfectly legit. There actually was a big rift in the Scrabble community, decades ago, about using the British official word list versus the American official word list, and apparently they’ve more or less standardized on a combined list that includes all the words on both. So anything in British English is completely fair game, which may to be fair explain why some of the words that aren’t real friendly in the US are still on there.
