''Nothing could be more inappropriate to American literature than its English source since the Americans are not British in sensibility.''
>>
You've convinced me, I'll write my novel in Esperanto

This is true but "sensibility" is hardly a static thing. The first Brits to inhabit America were Puritans, Quakers, and other strange folks who were just as different in sensibility before they crossed the Atlantic. The 17th and 18th centuries were as decisive in the shaping of the British identity as the American one. A lot happened on both sides of the ocean.
>>
B-but to be fair to Anglo-Saxons; the Jewish, which Americans are in sensibility, are equally bad
>>
Americans still have the original pronunciations, the Brits have changed. Most Brits don't even know soccer came from Britain and was used colloquially until now. We Americans are the true Brits.
