I don't doubt that you are right. I assume it is an Americanism. However, I repeat the n=1. The first time I heard it was from Eric. My point stands.

Your point doesn't hold any weight though? I've heard the phrase lots of times from various people.

What if I said "I've only heard the word Americanism from Stalin". You wouldn't care and I'd be silly to expect you to take any feedback from me saying so.

“Apologies if that is inaccurate”

Your apologies are clearly worthless.

As intended. Glad you picked up on that. Well done. You're sharp.
