British English is adopting many Americanisms ... as has Oz. It is due mainly to power relationships among media and those groups who are able to manipulate media. Murdoch has as much influence in UK as in OZ and US. It is under his tutelage that language structures are manipulated. Sentences are reduced to fit headlines and TB metronomic cadences. What is said and how it is said and at what time it is said all contribute to how we are allowed to think and with what words.
Thus your English is peculiar only to you. Your English is unique and contains elements of language that you select whether consciously or unconsciously. Your understanding of how you speak reflects how gullible you are to influence or how resistant you are to manipulation.
