[kj] foos big day out recording?

[gregslawson at aol.com]

I thought only Bostonians said "can I get a cup of coffee", but I guess it's a national problem (or to me, a disgrace). I feel like telling them "ok, jump over the counter and get the cup of coffee". They sound like morons saying that.

"How Americans abuse your language?"
For a start they always put the words in the wrong order. And instead of asking for something, they dont say   " Please will you get me a coffee", they say "Can I GETa coffee". They ask a question  instead of making a request. And they keep puting the word "Like" in places where its not supposed to go. Some Americans use the word "like" about every fifth or sixth word they speak: "Like, I was going out and like, it was a bit like cold, so I like asked my mum to like get me a jumper............like."  gggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
        And they are sooo over sincere and patronising "Hey man..........I just love your shooooooooes, like can I get a picture like or something, like. We must meet up again one day.......... like"
    And when they are in restaurants they think that everyone else in the restaurant  wants to hear there life story " I been married for 47 years , like, I first met my sweet heart wife when we were doing a schoolership together at Yale University like.I sure like missed her when I was away in the military.............Like I just love these plates ,like can I get one?".................Just Shut the fuck up will ya , I'm trying to eat.        And they are so  rude and abrupt, never saying please or thank you. They just cling on to the latest "buzz" words. 
 There was a huge American women sitting behind me on a bus recently, she was so big she needed two seats for herself, and she only just managed to squeeze into the two seats, she said to her friend "I cant wait to get back to the hotel and have a huge dessert", I did nt intent to, but I turnded around and said "Dessert!! You need some salad , not dessert. I did feel a bit guilty when she nearly started crying.

      I hate the way Americans abuse my language. If you cant speak my language properly, then go and invent your own language.
 
How Americans abuse your language? Obviously, you've never seen an episode of "Coronation Street".
