Lost in Translation: The 50 Americanisms That Annoy Brits Most

Lost in Translation: The 50 Americanisms That Annoy Brits Most

nightline:

As collected by the BBC:

14. I caught myself saying “shopping cart” instead of shopping trolley today and was thoroughly disgusted with myself. I’ve never lived nor been to the US either.

23. To put a list into alphabetical order is to “alphabetize it” - horrid!

36. Surely the most irritating is: “You do the Math.” Math? It’s MATHS.

Somewhat accurate (bad grammar and irritating “business” terms), but mostly pretentious colloquialisms.
