The Americans have invented very little indeed.

What the Americans have done is pinched other people's inventions and 
improved them immensely, to the extent

Some Americans even think they invented English; which was invented by a 
load of vulgar northern Frenchmen
attempting to speak Anglo-Saxon and getting it wrong.
