How the heck does a conversation of basket and cart go from english to the american revolution...remember american's speak english...not american...i am reminded of a local radio broadcaster who was stopped by a texan lady and she asked him for directions, which he being a local lad politely gave to her and her husband, on him going to carry on his merry way she stopped him again only to tell him that he spoke really good AMERICAN...excuse me...which came first the Englishman or the American... "The Thirteen English colonies that would become the original US states, were founded along the east coast beginning in 1607". I rest my case thankyou Wikipedia
