Subject: RE: BS: American English usages taking over Brit
Well it's about time! You folks have had the monopoly on usage for far too many centuries. It's time some other group had its say.

Actually, I am far more troubled that over here we have essentially dropped the use of adverbs than that our idioms are taking over the rest of the English speaking world.

I am more trouble, yet, by speech as, "Her and me are going to the dance together."
