English is constantly evolving and it evolves from the UK. Because we are
English and it's our language. Americans speak American. Do you have a
faucet in your house, does your car have a hood or fender? I rest my case.

I just looked at the Oxford English Dictionary list of new words for 2015.
There are well over 1000 so I looked at the 24 words starting with "b":
backronym, bahala na, balikbayan, baon, barangay, barkada,
barong tagalog, barong, baro’t saya, batchmate, bhelpuri,
biomethane, birdhouse, blazar, blue star,
bluff charge, bluff-charge, bluff-charging, Blu-ray,
boiler room, brûlée, brûlée, bukkake, buko.

Evidently over half are foreign words.
The only words that could be claimed as "English English" are batchmate,
which apparently means someone in the same year at school or college,
and possibly birdhouse, though I suspect this has a special meaning.

It is obvious, I think, that English is not "evolving from the UK".
