You can't "butcher" a language on a large scale. If something becomes socially acceptable then it's no longer a corruption of the language.

To say American English is it's own language is a joke. You should look at the differences between Cantonese and Mandarin if you really want to see two languages that are shockingly different despite one being derived from the other.

You'll understand an English person trying to communicate with you, if they don't yews any slang or regional terms. Someone who speaks Mandarin will literally not understand what someone is saying in Cantonese at all.
