The word "history" implied to me that this was something that was discussed in the past, but perhaps not recently. The sense I got out of it is that once upon a time this was discussed and we went one way, and now for whatever reason we're thinking differently. Probably in-between nobody thought about it much at all. That's my 2 US cents (probably worth a ha'penny these days, minus any collector status) as a native speaker of American all my life. I won't insult my friends across the pond by calling it "English." :) In any case, we're not really debating English here. Some of the replies in the thread did come across to me as a bit personal/degrading/etc. Let's just all try to get along, and also let's also try to understand that not everybody here speaks the Queen's English as well as I don't.
