Actually, I have nothing against the way that our American cousins use out native tongue in all but one respect. I can't stand the way they see fit to change nouns into verbs, some of these set my teeth on edge. The one that really makes me cringe is 'snacking'...urrrggghhh...why does anyone use that word, are people really so lazy that they can't say "I'm having a snack"

Do you know the one that really makes me wanna smack someone????
Hotting up!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
It's heating up...Heating up I say!
Our blinkin weather people use it now and it drives me bonkers!...It's not in the oxford english...and is BAD Grammar!
