Check it out, Dude! 
my favorite is when I hear someone say they have done a 360 on an issue, when they mean they have done an about-face or a 180.
:nono:Yes, how quickly they forget that they'd be speaking German if not for us.
The USA has made English a global language. It's only natural that some of our idiosyncrasies would catch on elsewhere.
Because we don't refer to them like that. Americanisms are fine. . .in America but not in Great Britain. We had enough of that when your soldiers came over here shagging our wives in dubya dubya 2 while we were getting our faces shot off in the trenches!!Maths?
What's wrong with using 'season' when refering to a television series?

The difference is. It's 'our' language! & as far as I am aware Britishisms don't infect the world in the way Americanisms do!I was going to say. Imagine how many Britishisms we could come up with...probably hundreds.

& even if they did, as I said it's 'our' language so we can do want we want. When you get your own language then feel free to do with it as you will!

Er, why are you telling me about your heritage? It is irrelevant. This is a discussion about how Americanisms have infected our language.My dad speaks a little Swedish and English (his folks both spoke Swedish and Danish and English), and my grandparents on my mother's side spoke fluent German and English, you twit.
I suppose you have the same attitude for all the Pakis that have invaded your land and the bastardization they've made of the English language as well, right? Or is this just a white thing you have, tranny boy?
Get back to your shrink soon. He (or she or IT) need to adjust your meds again.
A good english word! Well done!Mate, you're such a prat:rofl2:

& kindly refrain from using such racist terms as 'paki'. People from Pakistan have not 'invaded' our land or 'bastardized' the English language. The word pyjamas in fact has its roots in Hindi so their influence was felt during the days of The British Empire.
& kindly refrain from your pathetic attempts at personal insults. It just makes you look really stupid & infantile.

I have & that is not the issue. The issue is Americanisms infecting the English language as it is spoken here, in its home country. How have you not understood that yet?!? Its fine for you to use them, just stop their infection from spreading over here.The point is, America is very much a multi-lingual country. And since I highly doubt you've been on this side of the pub I doubt you know a whole lot.

We've developed a different dialect of English than the Brits, same goes with the Aussies and everyone else in the English speaking world.
