[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many borrowed phrases in language usage. Why do the French use "le pullover" or "le weekend?" [/quote] I think the point is that Americans (main) use the word differently than Brits (appetizer). [/quote] The interesting thing is when people compare British and American English word usage and pronunciation people often assume that Americans made the change. But that often isn't true, like for the voiced "h" in "herb". https://glossophilia.org/2021/02/you-say-erb-i-say-herb-american-vs-british-pronunciation-of-loan-words/ https://separatedbyacommonlanguage.blogspot.com/2014/09/herb.html?m=1 [/quote]
