Anglophile
From Free net encyclopedia
An Anglophile is a non-English person who is fond of English culture and England in general.
The term is also used as a slur for people (especially in New England, New York, and elsewhere along the northern East Coast of the United States) who base their modes of business or their political inclinations on a cultural sphere that is tied to its social equivalent in England.
Examples of anglophiles include: philanthropist Paul Getty, who became a British citizen; Madonna; Johnny Depp; science fiction/horror writer H.P. Lovecraft; Australian born UK citizen Germaine Greer; the modernist poet and essayist T.S. Eliot; and director/actor/screenwriter Quentin Tarantino and the writer Bill Bryson. Although he never confessed to being an anglophile it can be claimed that Stanley Kubrick was a good example of the type. Template:Citation needed
American Anglophiles will often use British spellings of words, such as colour and flavour, rather than the American color and flavor.
