Americanisms are ridiculous mispellings and mispronunciations of the beautiful English language by the yanks. This often involves missing vitally important letters from such words as 'herbs' (in American ' 'erbs'); maths ('math'); through (thru) and bizzarre pronunciations of words such as basil ('baysill'); mirror ('meeyor')and aluminium (alloominum). We invented it, albeit it with a little help from Ancient Romans, Celts and French so stop messing around with it!

Such Americanisms are

Billy-Jo-Bob: Yo whassap dude, yo mama got any 'erbs?

Mary-Jane-Sue: Yeah, they're in the trunk behind the alloominum foil and math books. Be careful of my sweat pants and sneakers.
