# Their version of aluminium is more accurate to the original than ours.
Also use of the word 'fall' for autumn is far older and more 'English' than, well, 'autumn'.

I expect the ancient Romans, Germans, French, Angles and Saxons are all turning in their graves every time they hear some chav say 'innit' or a business person use the term 'idea shower', or, indeed, any one of us talk or express theirselves, because of our bastardization of the language.
