Re: American words/expressions you don't like

"futurecast" is used by the weatherman. It means exactly the same as "forecast" but is only used when referencing a long range forecast. Not sure why "long range forecast" is not used.

Re: American words/expressions you don't like

I've found that funny too. Compare them to current people who want their state to secede (sp?) to create confusion and pondering amongst Americans.

Re: American words/expressions you don't like

A phrase that I had never heard before is being used by the local kids: "look it", meaning "look at this/that". Could just be a northwest thing. Grammar is wrong!

Re: American words/expressions you don't like

Does anyone actually use a "pocketbook"? The only time I ever hear it used is when Americans refer to spending cash, but everyone uses a "wallet" to keep that in. Must be one of those old-timer words.

Re: American words/expressions you don't like

"unbeatable savings" seems to be used by every store sale, so probably quite easily beatable in reality.
