lol alright then. Good luck dictating how a language operates.

Like you were trying to dictate how I speak? Yeah, I won't be doing that.

No, my dude. You just seemed like a non-native speaker of English and I was trying to help you out. It’s what I do for a living. I’ll be happy to teach “USAian” to my students if it ever becomes commonplace vernacular that they would likely hear on the streets. Unfortunately since it’s kind of grammatically nonsensical and weirder to both say and understand, that might take a whole lot more effort to accomplish than you seem to think it will. Good luck though. I find linguistic evolution interesting, so I won’t stop you.

I see now where you were coming from. It would've helped to ask if I was a non-native speaker.

Nobody's forcing anybody to say USAian. It's a personal preference and it gets the point across.
