Oh, and while we are on the subject, stop calling it 'shellfish'.
They aren't fish, they're just snails that live underwater. And crustacea are just spiders that live underwater.

I do think the UK is well into the process of losing some of its key vocab differences from American English, approx in this order:
- lorry -> truck ages ago
- sweets -> candy
- aeroplane -> airplane has just about completed I think
- shop -> store nearly there
- toilet -> bathroom seems to be well on the way
- vacation starting to creep in
Sidewalk next?
- lorry -> truck ages ago

Sidewalk? Leave that to the crabs.
Sorry, water spiders. -

don’t mind most of those, but tow us into the Atlantic and pull out the plug when ‘then’ replaces ‘than’.

Forget global warming or nuclear fallout, my biggest fear is that the language "English (U.S.)" will become "American" and "English (U.K.)" will become "American (U.K.)".

Certain types of parents in pubs who’s ‘angels’ throw half the nicely offered crayons on the floor/table/used to draw across the menu. Food pressed into every gap in outdoor table spaces. Salt and pepper grinders smashed and opened on floor. And then left as such for underpaid bar staff to clean up.
Probably been called out already on this thread.

The "Trainpal is an absolutely SICK app" ad 'star' has me trying to press the skip button the first nanosecond it's available. Upon checking he's some ballbag Youtuber who made his name pulling annoying pranks so that makes sense.

Dirt bikes and their fucking moron teenage owners. Constant revving and riding up behind me on a pedestrian/cycle path, not cool, not legal, not seen by any of the lazy ass police force that are so under-whatevered.
Dislike grief and being sworn at, whilst revving an engine, on a pedestrian crossing. Absolute nonsense.
Yeh, it really is much easier to understand than feeling the speaker vibrations which is what I do when they haven't prefaced the show with useful instructions.
