i'm not really anti-American but pro British.

our nation and language was built on that of others like the Romans, French, Vikings etc who have invaded in the past and that will probably continue but as you say we are now too happy to accept Americanisms rather than our own sayings and words.

James Bond now carries a "cell phone" whatever they are.

The one that really got me anti was smoking ban ad which is from our own government but no one realised that the date was in US format rather than our own. I'm sure the Us people we have over in the UK who saw it liked that format but it would have been better to have it in our own format to start with.
