[Misc] Americanisms (again)

[The Hermit Kingdom]

Any Gmail users noticed that the ‘Bin’ is now called ‘Trash’ ?

I think I’ll ‘go watch’ a ‘season’ of something on Netflix to calm down, or maybe a ‘movie’ ...

Google and Netflix are both American companies.

@The Hermit Kingdom This is becuase your default Google language is set to English (US) if you change it to English (UK) you will see it change back to Bin after you clear your cache and log out and in yadda yadda yadda....

Perhaps inevitably, it turns out the first known use of trash in written English was in 1529, and derives from "trasch" and other similar words which referred to fallen leaves.

Definition of TRASH

something worth little or nothing: such as; things that are no longer useful or wanted and that have been thrown away : junk, rubbish… See the full definition

Yes. And talking of 'fallen leaves' we all know Americans refer to Autumn as 'Fall' - and that's an old English word as well, not an Americansim. Germanic or Norse root apparently. 'Autumn' is the poncy upper-class word for it brought over by the French.

Yours should look as below, unless you’re being cheeky.

I’m sure you’ll reach out to her before she doubles down on you.

My Gmail still has a good old British bin.
