Everything about Anglophile totally explained
An
Anglophile (from
Latin Anglus "English" +
Ancient Greek φίλος - philos, "friend") is a person who is fond of
English culture and
England in general. Its
antonym is
Anglophobe.
The term is often used in particular for people all over the world (in America especially in
New England,
New York, and elsewhere along the northern
East Coast of the United States) who ostensibly base their business, political, or social practices on like of or admiration for
English models.
In some cases, anglophilia represents an individual's preference for English culture over their own; the belief that English culture is superior; or an appreciation of
English history.
Alongside anglophiles who are attracted to 'traditional' English culture (for example
Shakespeare,
Jane Austen,
Dr Johnson), there are also anglophiles who like pop and rock music from England and its contemporary culture generally.
American anglophiles will often use
English spellings, such as 'colour' instead of 'color', 'favourite' instead of 'favorite' and 'centre' instead of 'center'.
