    Devolving en devolution are not a real words, at least not in the context you're referring to. Evolution means the change in a system without a purposeful direction. The word "devolution", or "backwards evolution" contradicts with this definition, since it implies evolution has a purposeful direction. The word you're searching for is "regression", which is the opposite of progression. The change in a system with a purposeful direction.

          You might be, but Queens English is actually just the East Midlands accent. Original English is actually more Somerset, land of the Saxons under Alfred and all that. :)

                        Yes, it is, since this particular German family was responsible for the first world war, which paved the way for the second, Comunism, the cold war, and the Balkans war. Of course its the British peoples fault, They killed theirs, then decided they wanted one back, so got hold of a Germanic Import to do the job. :)
