Platform Nation: Britishisms have been somewhat of a novelty to me. Not to disrespect British folk or their culture, but the things they choose to say as a matter of idiomaticism over pragmatism has been mostly bewildering. I’m not talking about throwing Us into words haphazardly or inscrutably preferring “cheque” to “check” (I actually prefer “theatre” to “theater”). Instead, I mean words and phrases that only make sense colloquially. Being a Texan and having grown up around those that use “fixin’” to not mean “repair,” I’m fine with that practice. I take issue with that fact that most of the local flavor from the kingdom often makes its way into journalism, frequently defeating the actual meaning of these words.
