There hasn't been really enough time linguistically for an entirely new set of usage patterns to arise. | |

(As) English is a WORLD language, I hoped (and frankly expect) that there would be a track of thoughts that extends beyond just the USA and UK! (And other major native English-speaking countries such as Australia, Canada, South-Africa etc.). | |
