transam Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Again, if anyone actually believes there is going to be a segregated forum for Americans on the general forum here, I've got a bridge to sell you. Brooklyn, London, or any bridge you fancy really. So carry on with the predictable boring Yank bashing -- sarcastic, ironic, and sincere.

ATF Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I would prefer Americans to stop the disgusting practice of "verbing" (another disgusting example) but I understand Americans are planning to abolish Capital Letters also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I would say closer to a Sea, as its generally surrounded by land and doesnt cover the expanse of an ocean, but thats just my take, no scientific or links to back that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attrayant Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 As an American I say no. Look at it as an opportunity to learn some British English. 90% of the new phrases I see can be figured out by context. The remaining ten percent, well... why not ask?

wannascuba Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Judging by the sheer popularity of this thread alone, I dare say that if there were an American dedicated section, most non American TV members would read it religiously every day. As getting the warm and comfortable feeling of "Knickers in a Bunch" is too much for some to resist........... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As getting the warm and comfortable feeling of "Knickers in a Bunch" is too much for some to resist........... Unlikely, most people from intellectually developed nations would give it a miss.
