Default Sick n /Tired of being expected to be a Yank

Okay people, it's come to the point where I've had a gutful of being told that my English isn't quite good enough because I'm not UH-MERIKAN.

I've never watched 'Friends' and I really don't give a toss who lives or dies on 'E.R.' In fact, I hope they all choke to death. Since when has the word 'like' become an indispensible and integral part of a typical Uh-Merikan sentence?

Since when is was Uh-Merikan language considered 'English'??

Is 'yo' and 'sup my main *****' now an acceptable greeting in the classroom? - even to other students who have never set foot on the mean nasty streets of lame-*** places like Seoul or Beijing, let alone the candy-*** 9mm 'buss a cap in yo ***' streets of LA?

What ever happened to the Queen's English?

The trend sucks.

Just seeing it in action. And how sad it is.
