wildethough american english has become much different from british english, more and more british words and phrases are becoming common in american english. here are some examples. bloodyif there is anything americans like, its a good word to express their great anger. for example, “its bloody cold out there! what a bloody and costly failure!” bloody is now well accepted by most americans. its a

especially when talking about their own actions.ginger before the first harry potter book came out, americans only used the word ginger when referring to the spice (调味品). ginger has almost always been a color as well as a spice for the british. now more and more americans are talking about “ginger cats” and “ginger hair”.sell-by datemore and more american members of the media are using this british term in place of the american term “expiration date” on which something, such as a license, is no longer in effect. american products are also using this term, which is a bit more descriptive than
