Love your tee-shirt.
Linguistics is awesome
. There are some fascinating language things I have noticed here, though (some online, some in-person).
One that annoys me the most is when people write "could care less" when they actually mean "couldn't care less". Both statements essentially mean opposite things, and a lot of people write the former when they mean the latter.
I can only assume they grew up hearing the phrase but did not hear the 't' when people spoke, so now write it incorrectly.
One other I had to get used to at the stores here was when you are at a checkout (or anywhere with public-service people) when you say "thank-you" after your interaction they then say "Mmm...hmmm" or "yup", which is to me a slap in the face. It essentially means "go away, stop bothering me". These-days, I have mostly stopped saying thank-you because I cannot tolerate the rude responses. But sometimes it slips out unconsciously, before I can stop myself.
However, no doubt our Australian friend has picked up on many Americanisms from hubby.
