General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

oh...there, there...such an upset...I got over americanisms (if there is such a thing) after spending 9 years in the USA. You have to consider that after the Pilgrim Fathers landed in this country the population immediatley diversified and the populus became "Americans" with their own culture and ways. The people over here will tell you they speak "American" not English, I quickly adapted over here and am now bi-lingual to be understood, I gave up trying to convince the Americans that they don't speak English (with the vast collection of different accents across the UK which particular dielect would you like the Americans to adopt??)
This americanism discussion has been going on for years and I imagine will continue, my opinion...get over it! (another "americanism")
