Okay, you got me there. I suppose I am guilty of referring to "The King's English" as opposed to generic "English". Could anyone define "English" for me?

I don't think the lineage is impressive but it is an extended time period in-country which is the point I was attempting to make.

Education as in? Yale, Columbia, Oxford? I should imagine the first man to smelt carbon steel was rather low ranked on the "education" scale. Where would the Mayans rank on an "education" scale?
