People using American words.

Kona-Ian · Jul 6, 2015

I have nothing against Americans at all, thing is all these words that people here use.
Like:
Shipping
Lawyer
Jail
Movies
Garbage
Vacation
Then don't get me started on the date the wrong way round...confuses the hell out of me

My brother in-law uses American words, no idea why.
Diaper
Bathroom (instead of toilet)

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Getting "momentarily" wrong really annoys me.

Re:

The cycling ones get right on my tits:

'Grade' instead of gradient
'Drafting' instead of slipstreaming
'Fenders' instead of mudguards

I'm sure there are more, can't think of any for the moment.

Was much more romantic when we all used French and Italian terminology.
