American speak has made its way into every facet of British life. Things are now 'cool', people are 'guys', children are 'kids' and really hip people (like me) are 'dudes'. All lovely. This is actually how I speak. In fact, I'm know in these parts of the UK as Lear from the block.
So, it got me thinking... does the same happen in reverse? Do American citizens do British speak? I wonder if there are crack dealers in LA saying, "I appear to have not sufficient funds about my person with which to procure said wrap". Are the really cool dudes wooing the girls with British phrases; the educated masses impressing with their use of British spelling?
Lear (in the hood)
