I listened to someone on the Radio complaining about the "Globalisation" or more to the point "Americanisation" of "English" English. Their point was somewhat shot down in flames when the linguistic expert also on the show rattled off about half a dozen words and frasses used in England that were adopted in the 1920's & 30's that are now regarded as standard including a word the complainant had used.

Cliches and generalisations, backed by high volume noise. A waste of time.
