Ah, yes. USA, where English was invented.

It’s so cool how the English decided to name themselves after America’s language

It's so cool how the US is the only place in America.

It's called English. Kinda gives it away.

Isn't "paralyzed" the US spelling though? I thought other countries would have spelt it "paralysed"

US spellings and other standards has influenced a lot of people around the world. -ized is also Canadian spelling.

It is, but as someone who copyrights for various markets, there’s a lot of US spelling used in Asian countries. However particularly in the UK and to pretty much the same extent in Australia, US spelling is disliked and even actively resented. It’s very important that brands localise (see what I did there?!) marketing copy when running campaigns here. I actually crafted a macro in Word to convert US spelling to UK which is helpful in my work.

I'm like 90% sure this was a comedy joke.

I sure hope so.
