The BBC asked their readers for Americanisms, below are some examples but here’s the full list if you are interested.

• Using 24/7 rather than “24 hours, 7 days a week” or even just plain “all day, every day”. Simon Ball, Worcester
• “Touch base” – it makes me cringe no end. Chris, UK
• Transportation. What’s wrong with transport? Greg Porter, Hercules, CA, US
• I caught myself saying “shopping cart” instead of shopping trolley today and was thoroughly disgusted with myself. I’ve never lived nor been to the US either. Graham Nicholson, Glasgow
• To put a list into alphabetical order is to “alphabetize it” – horrid! Chris Fackrell, York
• I’m a Brit living in New York. The one that always gets me is the American need to use the word bi-weekly when fortnightly would suffice just fine. Ami Grewal, New York

I believe those are response to this article.
