Americanisms are colloquial sayings and words that originated within the United States of America. Obviously, my British writing predecessors on this web site have difficulties seperating personal opinions from fact. Yes, the English language originated in England, and British English is a beautiful spoken language. What one must realize, however, is that nearly all of the world's major languages are spoken in different countries, each people group from those geographical locations altering the language spoken with ethnic and cultural influences. Does this make them any less valid in today's world? Perhaps people from Spain believe their version of Spanish is supreme thus claiming people from Mexico use "Mexicanisms". People from Quebec perhaps use Francaisisms, deeming their language inferior as well. As an after thought, just because you once heard the so called words "izzy and izzle" in a rap song, it does not mean those are Americanisms. I surely hope this website is not used as an education tool as it is greatly depraved of fact replaced by opinion and bitterness.
one of many true Americanisms (originated and primarily used in the southern and western states) -- "Y'all" (yawl). A reference in the second person in plural form. Example = "Y'all should actually research your topic before you write ignorantly and willy nilly."

Idiots that are so self absorbed that they think they are the best in the world. The only people that believe that you rather pay hundreds of thousands for health instead of adding a little more to their taxes and making it free
Those Americans are the most self-righteous asshole ever. They believe that they are free in suffering
