Took longer than anticipatedI think I have the point...
We never asked for it, but it seems like we're getting it, whether we want it or not.If you ever feel the need to 'rescue' traditional 'British English' you need look no further for help than from your cousins across the pond.
Totally agree. In Spain a tortilla is an object of my affection. However, in California where my daughter lives, it is typically used to hold together a taco.We are both right depending on which country we are from.
The Mexicans and the Spanish are both right in their use of the word tortilla, but if a Spaniard told me she was going to make a tortilla and gave me a flat bread, disappointment wouldn't be an adequate term.
So I shat my sat my pants while wearing my best suit kecks? Right?
You are a funny man.Took longer than anticipated

Your generosity knows no bounds
Is this Fox news or Fake news?One would think a bigger concern would be Arabic becoming the language of the U.K. and Germany.

Actually I'm way over my head in this discussion. I am a produce of the infamous Philadelphia Public School System, where a sentence containing a noun, article and verb was considered a remarkable achievement. There's a statue of Rocky Balboa of the stairs of the art museum to give you an idea of my educational and cultural background.
In the States, they would sometimes preview the new TV lineup for the coming Fall Season, indicating the new series that we could expect kicking off in the fall.
The series Episodes, one of my personal favorites, sadly end, leaving a gaping hole for the coming season.
I see "funny" also means strange in America as well as BritainYou are a funny man.
Definitely not. I must admit that I was spoiled in Northern Italy when it
Definitely not. I must admit that I was spoiled in Northern Italy when it comes to pizza, but what the Americans made of it is a monstrosity in my eyes (and mouth).
I am not a fan of fried chicken, and I have no clue what 'grit' is in terms of food. But what the USA did to pizza can be considered a crime against "culinarity".

Well I guess I won't even get into ketchup...
Grits,..... sound's most apatizing or something you would go to the doctors with!

Can I have a slice of the top one and a pint of stout please?
Yes, the very same steps.You're just as qualified as a product of the British state education system.
Are they the steps Mr. Stallone ran up and down in the film?
I never realised that was the origin of the term "season" regarding TV programmes.
Episodes was indeed a very good programme, how many series did it consist of?

To which the bar maid unless it's a bloke then there is no English term for that only an Americanism Bar Tender should say ' No I'll get it, what would you like me to get you'?When waiting at a bar counter to be served I usually hear someone say to the barmaid or whatever "can I get....". I could explode, it should be "can I have......" (pint of bitter, bag of crisps etc...) Drives me mad.
Bar man.....no?To which the bar maid unless it's a bloke then there is no English term for that only an Americanism Bar Tender should say ' No I'll get it, what would you like me to get you'?
Yes sorry Sir Barman. Although most of them especially the students that work in Wetherspoons in Leeds do not deserve the title as they cannot pull a pint to save their lives.Bar man.....no?
