Britishisation of American

I use many of those terms & phrases. My family thinks it's how Californians speak, however.

But then internet service there ("behind the pine curtain") is spotty at best (most don't even bother and when they do it's like 10 years behind the times at least, and same for cell phones) and I'm sure most people who saw or read Harry Potter did so to find the satanic references rather than out of enjoyment. So I can see why they're clueless on how global the village is becoming.
