Languages have different dialects (who knows if i spelled that correctly) over geographical boundaries.

I wouldn't say the English (as in UK) invented English, but they were the first to speak it (common sense knowledge coming into play).

I guess what I am saying that different pronunciations and spellings normally happen. Language is constantly changing. Even within the United States we have differences in the language.

Then who did invent it?

On a side similar to the OP I love it when Yanks ask us why we add the letter "R" to the word Ass?

I think the problem is in the word "invent".  English is more of an evolution of previous languages, so it is more like the English were the first to use it.
