Since being on a forum with staff from UK, quite a few members from UK, and having some relatively new friends from the UK, I've been noticing myself using some of their talk.

I keep saying things like "No worries", and "Cheers"; things I never said before talking to those from the UK.

It's the European Invasion all over again.

haha the same thing is happening to me. So bad, I am starting to spell things the way British people do. My teacher for Enlglish is always like wtf? because I spell color "colour" theater "theatre" ect. Don't know why it bothers her so much.

I wonder if any U.K. people are having the same thing happening to them that is happening to us, except with the American language.

I spell things that way because I'm a Canadian and that's how we spell it as well.

I spell center and color < like that.

Mainly cause I code with them so much, and use them like that all the time.

Anyway. Britain > Everywhere!

I use colour on the odd occasion, and theatre constantly.

Because I'm coolio and beatnik.

Or a geek.

I sometimes phrase sentences the way British people might instead of Americans.

If i wouldn't of met americans, I would still be talking on forums like i do on msn.

I hate UK Fish.. it sucks. the batter just... Ewwww.. makes me sick.

I prefer FISH... that's not got batter on it.. some salmon, mackerel or anything other than battered cod.

Eww, I'm just the opposite. Never been a big fish lover, has to have batter on it, unless it's haddock, or cod, they're bearable.

I'd rather have donna meat and chips

Haha, same here. I tend to say "cheers" and "mate" often at my real life friends.

The British are taking over the world!

Geez mate. The British are coming.


Err... not?

Are you saying we're not real

I am from US and I have always said stuff like "Cheers" And "Mate". I guess so many people in my class just decided to say it and I got into it.
