It's not English, it's American. I can't understand some English speakers (some of it's vocabulary, some of it's accent) along with some Southern American speakers.

The President of the United States garbles American time and again as do news anchors and teachers and others who should know better. Language is expression and communication, other than that who the heck cares what it is.

Besides, much of what makes a language interesting is change. Aside from furrin' words, we have lots of new words and new usages all the time. We never used to use surf and click and google in the manner we do today. 100 years from now, American might well be unrecognizable.
