No more difficult than immigrating to British UK. Not so sure that immigrating to Spanish US or Mexican US would be a walk in the park though.
What?

Far fewer people would be using less and in general destroying Dean's language.

However, I'm sure you've got Dean beat when it comes to Spanish grammar.  ;)

Less people would be using less instead of fewer would be using less? Tongue

I'm pretty British, but I can't say I've ever eaten marrow. One rather positive outcome would be PA wouldn't tell me I'd misspelt things all the time, it's disconcerting.

Since I have never learnt Spanish and do not live in a Spanish speaking country, that is a foregone conclusion of no consequence. Wink

I imagine realistically: As the empire inevitably dissolved the USA would become like the other former colonies? Either part of the commonwealth, and eventually gaining full independence, or basically full independence but under the commonwealth. 

Pretty bland answer I know. 


I reckon we would also have cool variants of the British accent, though it wouldn't actually be pleasant to us in this world...just the norm. So actually that would suck!

^Shocked  That's a thing?  Why would we want less of that if it is a thing?  I say let natural selection run its course.  
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I shudder to think what sort of music we'd be listening to without the invention of blues, jazz or rock. Probably some ridiculous variant of burlesque.
