to this very day they still have all those extra U's and -re's instead of -er's. ;_;
can't say i'm all that romantic about notions of empire, though.

No, but empire did set the stage for the world we have today and the set of people we have today. In other words the rebirth of the West and the focus away from state (serf-lord) and religion to science and advancement (progress) results in us (the whole set of people alive today), the product.
The world would be much more fragmented, if not more Frankish and perhaps Spanish.
