The only reason that some of the examples aren't absurd is that the topic is "Americanisms" (which I understand to mean American usage, rather than American slang).

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.
