Occasionally, I accidentally use the word "guy".
It makes me cringe.
I'm English, for heaven's sake. The only time I should use the word guy should be on the 5th of November. And with a capital G!!
Today, I used the word "flashlight". Yikes. That's like calling the fire brigade the fire department.
I should be taken out and shot.
Not that I have anything against the United States. Love the place. Some of my best holidays have been spent there. Most of my favourite films were made there.
But I need to try to stop it invading my vocabulary.
And I wish more people in England would try to resist. I like our quirky little cultural identity. No point turning ourselves into a small grey copy of the USA.
The USA wouldn't be as much fun if it wasn't different.
