lol thanks eaglestrike
i think we can cross USA< canada and Australia off the list.
USA because it is so culturally diverse and as a result other words are seeping into peoples lexicon
Canada because well, the whole "French Canada" means taht it isn't pure english
Australia because, well, struth cobber, we could never speek dem words good ever!!
im not sure abt the different cultures in the UK, tho i dont think England speaks the language the best.
im going to take a punt and say its either Ireland or Scotland

If I am asked what we are fighting for, I can reply in two sentences. In the first place, to fulfil a solemn international obligation . . . an obligation of honor which no self-respecting man could possibly have repudiated. I say, secondly, we are fighting to vindicate the principle that small nationalities are not to be crushed in defiance of international good faith at the arbitrary will of a strong and overmastering Power.
