much worse is the "give me" when ordering food or drinks... it shows the least possible respect for the server as a person and upon hearing it I generally manage to only just stifle the desire to punch the speaker in the face, even when i am just waiting behind them. Covid has obviously reduced this irritation which is one of its few blessings, reducing the temperature of my boiled piss!
You'd hate it here in Spain the, answering the phone. "Dígame" Or Italy "Pronto". Remember our school headmaster would just shout "Come" if you dared knock on his door.
 
Requiring a definite or indefinite article before "hospital" or "university."

E.g., "Get Virgil to the hospital!"; "Since Virgil's playing days are over, he's pursuing a degree in Petulance Studies at a university."
 

Im married to a Yank. Shes not one of the shouty, mental ones though. We lived in London for 10 years and now shes kind of Cockney/Yank which is funny. She will ask for a "butchers" at something. Ive trained her to not talk Yank. She is very bad at football talk which I find quite endearing.
