americanisms

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."

Americanizing

AKA Westernized. What certian animation companies do by getting the broadcasting rights for Japanese Anime or any other non English speaking animated series by (a) Changing certain characters so in wouldn't offend veiwers ,
(b)changing the entire storyline by Americanizing or Westernizing it including references to local food,culture, or language (c) Elimiating all or most of the original signs or other aspects of the animation's "home language" or replacing it with garbled translations,(e) changing the original score with a very shoddy music score that is not worth listening to, (g) changing character name from there oringinal language to more americanized or westernized versions (i.e. Hiroshi= Henry) & (g) taking out or severing certain scenes that might frighten or "traumatize" younger viewers or no showing or banning the episode all together due to the contents that the episode has.
4kids Entertainment, & the now defuncted DiC productions & Saban Entertainment were well known of Americanizing such shows as One Piece, Sailor Moon, Maple Town, Samurai Pizza Cats, Hallo Spencer, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, & many others.
