"Not a word, but a phrase used mainly by Americans which is just noise, remove it from any sentence and the sentence improves. " go ahead and" I'm sure one day some one will say that just before a huge car crash instead of shouting sstopppppp." Same as when they say “super” before everything Or they tell you they “lowkey” do or like something How can it be low-key if your telling everyone | |||

""Gotten" and "gifted" - US English words especially when they are used in the UK with a British accent. " “Gotten” is a perfectly good word. It was the standard way to conjugate “to get” but it appears to have been forgotten in England. It has not been replaced by “got” in the US or indeed in the Irish dialect - more so in rural area than in the metropolitan district. Canadian usage is more toward the US; Australiasian usage similar to Irish. It was standard until the end of the 1600’s in England and lost ground to be rare by 1800 - including in the US. It revived in the 1900’s in North America but seeing as Johnson, Shakespeare and Chaucer used it we should not treat it as an Americanism. I prefer “donated” to “gifted”; and “talented” to “gifted” in the other context. I dislike “cutesie”. Far to mock cutesie-wutesie! | |||

It was the standard way to conjugate “to get” but it appears to have been forgotten in England.

It revived in the 1900’s in North America but seeing as Johnson, Shakespeare and Chaucer used it we should not treat it as an Americanism." Whilst it's true that 'gotten' has historical roots in English, evident, as you say, in the works of Johnson, Shakespeare, and Chaucer, its modern revival in the UK is largely due to American influence. Although it was standard until the 1800s, its resurgence in UK English can be attributed to US cultural and linguistic exchange. This raises a valid point - while 'gotten' isn't new to English, its reintroduction and increased usage in the UK can indeed be considered an Americanism. The distinction between historical usage and modern influence is worth noting in this context. | |||

"I can’t let this thread end without calling out the use of the word “draw” for the wooden thing you keep your cutlery in. Makes my teeth hurt, so it does. For those who weren’t listening in primary school, the correct word is “drawer”." Chester Draws even. | |||

"I can’t let this thread end without calling out the use of the word “draw” for the wooden thing you keep your cutlery in. Makes my teeth hurt, so it does. For those who weren’t listening in primary school, the correct word is “drawer”." You see this a lot with sports commentary, I'm guessing they mean a piece of skill is "top drawer", as in something stored at the highest, most prominent position. But people always say "top draw". ![]() | |||

"I can’t let this thread end without calling out the use of the word “draw” for the wooden thing you keep your cutlery in. Makes my teeth hurt, so it does. For those who weren’t listening in primary school, the correct word is “drawer”. Draw as a verb. Create a picture, move or pull something. Draw as a noun. Lottery, dead heat in a race. Fairground attraction. Drawer is always a noun. Furniture . Pants. You see this a lot with sports commentary, I'm guessing they mean a piece of skill is "top drawer", as in something stored at the highest, most prominent position. But people always say "top draw". ![]() | |||

"Aloud instead of allowed. I'm sure it stems from people who don't realise that 'Girls Aloud' was a play on words." That reminds me that not long before the smoking ban a lot of pubs, bars, hotels etc banned punters from smoking at the bar in order to stop bar staff having noxious fumes blown straight into their face. Remember one place had a big sign saying 'NO SMOKING ALOUD AT THE BAR' | |||

"Whatever! " .. . I think whatever is a brilliant popular " yoooffs" word ,to quickly kill any derogatory comment,without escalating the situation. Eg: " hey..specky four eyes"".... " Whatever"..... I suppose if used as a reply for a choice.. " shall we stop in or go out?". "Whatever " can be annoying.. ![]() | |||
