I think American English has changed since the Revolution. The first settlers probably couldn't understand much of what we say now. Read a Jane Eye novel and you will realize how ugly we have changed a beautiful language.

Ohiopyle, Pa. The Youghiogheny River runs through it. Of course they are Indian names. Ohiopyle translates to frothing water which describes the river perfectly as it winds it's way through the town.
This is an interesting thread. TFS

EDIT: an earlier post refers to "First Nation" and I am all for that to remind myself that I am only a very small part of America, and not so much, the better part. Thanks for the reminder.
