"bisness"

Didn't realise that the word business was one of those that americans spelt differently from the UK.

You learn something every day.

This really happened. New York Times called a "chippy" or "chip shop" a french fry restaurant.

I've heard some Americanisms in my time, but I think this one is probably the worst and funniest.

I listen to the lengthy lectures on #RegencyFiction from The Relative so that you do not have to.

Yesterday, I got the one about how American authors think that English people used "Fall" instead of "Autumn" in the early 19th century …

… because the word was included in Samuel Johnson's dictionary from the previous century.

We didn't.

But "Fall" is not, however, an "Americanism". It was a perfectly cromulent 16th century English word for the season until "Autumn" took over.

Do people say this in the US? Over here we might start with "by the way" but not "this is unrelated"; and "a frog's leg " not "a frog leg"

🔴 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 **Bonkers for Britishisms: the UK terms Americans have embraced**

Matthew Cantor

_Britons have long argued that Americanisms are “poisoning” or even “killing” their language, but it must be alive and well, since some Americans vent about the opposite; they feel that their compatriots are being a bit twee when they “impersonate an Englishman”._

My partial boycot of the USA is extending out to #Language.

I'll be using #Boomers to refer to mature male kangaroos, evaluating tone to interpret meaning and looking critically at #Americanisms.

To replace the Australian language lost to #CulturalInvasion I'd like to bring Aboriginal words. But I know very very few of them. Will try.

But the criminal language of the majority of the #WhiteInvaders is available to me.

So coves, back to the best.
