== Introduction to England ==

When John the Email returned to England in autumn of 1893, he introduced Emaileux to [[Aristotle|Gay Aristotle]], who suggested giving credit to Jean d'Emaileux. However, John did not give credit, as he was British in the 1800s. He anglicized the name to ''Email'', and rebranded with an [[out-of-touch corporate]] aesthetic. The stolen invention took off, with [[Franklin D. Roosevelt|King Roosevelt IV]] quoted saying "Email is the greatest invention since [[~~sliced bread~~]], which I don't know about since hasn't been invented yet." in his correspondence with [[Carl Czerny]].

After a close call with death in a boating accident, John the Email had a change of heart. He decided to give full credit of the invention of Email to Jean d'Emaileux. His first step was to send an apology letter, not email, to d'Emaileux. Unfortunately, the decision to use paper was a mistake, as he received a papercut and bled to death, eventually dying on September 11th, 1901. Jean d'Emaileux did not live long enough to see himself getting credit for his invention.
