I thought it might be interesting to list here some of the important inventions of the ENGLISH SPEAKING (Anglo-Saxon) WORLD.
I will start with this list:
The ENGLISH LANGUAGE is probably the most important invention.
Sports
Nearly ALL the worlds major sports were invented by the Brits.
Association Football (English)
Rugby (English)
Golf (English)
Tennis (English)
Table Tennis (English)
Snooker (English)
Cricket (English)
:spam: A British invention during WW1.
This list should include the inventions of USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia etc...
Oh dear it would seem the above countries were also British inventions!
SCRUB THE ABOVE - I have just had a look on Wikipedia and have seen the huge lists of inventions for all the above English Speaking Countries of the world. Far too many to list here.
We might as well just say the the ENGLISH speaking countries of the world have invented nearly ALL the most important things (apologies to the French and Germans).
