Sorry, what's wrong with buying your own house? We had our own house in the UK...actually my husband bought it before I moved over there. In fact all of his family have their own homes....bad people they are.

I have not tried to force my viewpoint on you, nor have I charged that you were wrong. I stated my point period.
As for speaking the same language-thank you for pointing that out-for some odd reason I had never glommed onto that fact.

Thanks, its an old Americanism that we use in New England-so a bit of both. It's supposed to be from Scots-in to snatch something.

No no, you've got it all wrong. We get to be rude to the newcomers, not the other way around. Do try and concentrate.
