American sense of national identity


Despite differences in vocabulary, the spoken English of USA and Britain was still essentially the same until 1776. After the Declaration of Independence, the patriotism of the newly independent United States of America found its linguistic expression in Noah Webster. His first books, on English spelling and grammar, were extremely successful. He was an icon for American English.

In 1828, he published An American Dictionary of the English Language, which was the foundation of American lexicography, and was held in similar esteem to Johnson´s Dictionary in England. Webster´s aim was to show the way the language was developing independently in America. He introduced several spelling reforms, which resulted in spellings as color, center, defense, and traveler

  2. I want to share my heartfelt testimony about how Dr. Alaska helped me during the darkest time in my marriage. When my wife walked away from our home, I felt shattered, confused, and helpless. Every effort I made to fix things seemed to fail, and I was losing hope each day. That was when I decided to seek help from Dr. Alaska. Through his spiritual guidance, support, and powerful work, I began to see real changes. The tension between us slowly disappeared, communication was restored, and the love we once shared started growing again. Not long after, my wife returned home willingly, ready to rebuild our marriage. Today, our home is filled with peace, understanding, and happiness. Our bond is even stronger than before. I am truly thankful for the transformation in my life. If you are facing problems in your relationship, marriage, finances, or any other situation and you are looking for genuine spiritual assistance, Dr. Alaska can also help you with any kind of spell you are seeking.
