Americanisms creeping in

Revert back
Almost unique
Could of.
Between you and I
None are ......
Myself instead of me.
From him and I.

I can hear my English teacher now,Lancslass1 ...

'There. Are. No. Degrees. Of. Uniquity!!!'

Oh, and I hate 'you guys'and'high five' too.

It is what it is. Grrrr...

Hun

Cringe making

Going forward. Ugh!

Alright? Used as a greeting, this is not an Americanism. My husband is from Kent and has been using this as a greeting since I met him more than 30 years ago - and when we lived there for a while it was what most people used.

Nearly all of the above!
However I also hate the phrase “what that would look like” as in he started a new routine but didn’t know what that would look like!
I can’t stand the creeping use of gotten, movies and cookies; also candy and cell phone!
Stand out as in stand out performance.
Across the store, or worse, in store instead of in this store or in the store etc
On the weekend instead of at the weekend
I could go on??‍♀️

Like in every sentence

The word Gotten appears in Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe written about 1700. A lot of Americanisms actually started here. Did we all know that "Stiff upper lip " was originally an American expression. The languages are tied together in intricate ways but I agree that the Friends ! influence on our language does jar.

What really annoys me after a sports contest ,is when the interviewer goes up to the winner and asks”How did it make you feel?”
What sort of stupid question is that?
What is almost as bad is”Talk us through it.”

Nouns made into verbs eg. he summitted Everest, she medalled at the Olympics.

Aaaarrrgh!

Cup cakes instead of fairy cakes.

even more so when the choice is 'English' (as per normal) and then English English doh!

And of course- when in the USA- beware of English words which have a totally different meaning (like fag, or fanny, lol)

A sentence starting with 'Like' or 'So', everything is 'awesome' or 'can I get a.....', 'I'm good', 'Have a great/nice day'. Too much unnecessarily positivity and excitement for me. 'Be your best self' - or version of - what or whom else would I be?grrrr. I'm sure there are many Englishisms that have crossed the pond, although it's essentially the same language just a different use of syntax, maybe not.

I’m not sure whether it’s American or not, but I am very irritated by ‘way’ used to mean ‘much’ or ‘far’ in expressions like ‘way too hot’. It’s almost taken over.

'I get to be able to . . . . '. Why not say 'it means I am able to . . . .' or 'It enables me to . . . .'

'It's very unique'.

Wedding bands. Train station - why not railway station?

I hate it when people Express their like for something with
Luvly jubbly, it makes me cringe
And my boss always says, I am not being funny what I am going to say here.
I dont like to pick her up on it

Brexit means Brexit. Sick to death of hearing the meanless words.

(I’’ )was sat instead of sitting.
(I ) was stood instead of standing.
At the end of the day.
It’s not rocket science?
Was you instead of weren’t you.
Latest phrase seems to be ‘heads up’ .Not really sure where thatcame from or what it really means.

I must offer profuse apologies - I recently commented “Gee whizz”, on a G.N post. I was too polite to swear!

Ah, Sparklefizz, but fairy cakes are dainty little things, smaller than cup cakes, which usually have far too much sickly icing, too.

I made little fairy cakes with Gdcs the other day and will confess to correcting Gdd when she called them cup cakes. But she's only 4, so I can make allowances for such dire errors.

Elephant in the room.

Stunning!! especially when it’s actually plain and uninteresting!
