I just want to say one thing...the reason many many many people in America misspell or misuse everything posted in this thread is that America consists of millions of people from all over the world. For many people in the US English isn't even their first language...as a German native who is trying hard to learn the English language in all its ways I ask you to please keep that in mind before judging people about grammar and spelling. Sure you can correct...that's actually important for people to learn. But don't judge or get annoyed too quickly

You love espresso. Not ex-press-o.
Do people seriously say 'heighTH'? Never heard it in my 40+ years. Guess I've been hanging out with the wrong crowd.
