I've noticed that, too
I like Americans, my father lives there and is married to a very nice one - it's not even their fault.

Companies emulate them in their ad copy because subconsciously people like the terminology as they've seen it in films, People who are cunts, that is.

Another big area for this is the post - or 'mail'.

An Americanism which amuses me is 'drug store'.

Yes, thats as may-be,
but, the shop, sorry, 'the store', itself is called a Chemist. Boots the Chemist, for example.

Go down many high streets
and you will find Lloyds Pharmacy, as well as hundreds of smaller independent PHARMACIES. When you are in a hospital and the doctors want to drugs, they don't say "Nurse go to the Chemistry and get me 300cc's of morphine STAT!" They say "Get yourself to the Pharmacy".

You are right,
it's a store where they sell drugs. ?Why call it a Chemist's Also, there are no "Chemists" in Drug stores; they’re all in university laboratories trying to make bombs for our holy crusade no, Righteous war on terror no: our waste of people’s lives.
