Hateful creeping Americanisms part 2944

[Man of Harveys]

I'm NOT anti-American at all - very far from it - nor do I think that languages shouldn't evolve, but this blithe one way drift of lazily using an American term instead of a British one gets right on my tits.

So imagine my revulsion when some rather grand doctor on the BBC this morning used the term "drinking soda" when the silly cow meant to say "fizzy drink". I'm still sore about the displacement of the word "lorry" by the word "truck", which is just no better, by saddos who wish they'd been born American.

Stand firm! Repel these invaders!

Generally, i agree and get frustrated at both my linguistic loss and those who speak in Yankeedoodlediddumsland without the ability to blame it on a baseball to the lambchops, but, i would like to be someone from Cheers. Either dead Coach or sexy, bald-patch Sam.
