That is true, we (i included) use a lot of Americanisms in our English.
This comes to light in particular when we test our English-speaking skills on
the Brittish. :-))

>Nah.. funny.

I can imagine how that would sound to someone who's native tongue is English.
To some it sounds cute (awww... Look how he's trying!), to others it sounds
annoying (In Great Brittain we say "dance", not "dEnce", you stupid
continental!) :-)))
