What about American English is simplified? American English is a living language and has expanded tremendously over its lifetime. Many new words, phrases and grammatical constructs have been added to the language, partly due to American culture and partly from technological advances. American English tends to be more descriptive, precise and technical than other languages including British English. The only complexity I see in British English as compared to American English is based on the (eroding) cultural components such as posh versus chav speak and cockney of course. It's class-divided whereas American English is homogenous across classes.

BUT...British English makes up silly common words and sayings which makes it seem childish and simplistic. Wibbily-wobbily, wubbly-jubbly and all that.

American English is homogenous across classes.

I think it’s quite the opposite. niggers, spics, chinks, pajeets, and other shitskins don’t talk like Whites.

English is a White people language.

They just mimic English in the same manner as a parrot or cockatiel do. I take it back. The birds are smarter.

I almost used that example but realized that it would offend @Stupidbird, comparing birds with sub-humans.

1840’s Frontier English was the best.

Deadwood was one of my favorite shows because of the vernacular.
