I never heard this language described as "British" before.
What is defined as "English" now should be defined as "American".
The reason there is a difference is due to spelling. (And the English
have bigger pints.)

Usually only the "Texans",....but then in the states we've begun to draw
away from Texans....but not nearly fast enough.
I was thinking of "Imperial Pints" as opposed to what they pass off to

Mmmmm... Blackthorne!
