Interesting....I would have assumed that it would be the other way round. Normally BrE is more strict with the usage of grammar.
Thanks.
Are you from the UK?
Sure, so it is like with 'suggest'.
Thanks.
I am so eager to learn why "get" and "fix" are inappropriate words.
Please do enlighten me!
It is not what I said. I didn't say that those words were inappropriate. But that I read that Americans are prone to
"2) the friquent use of 'get' instead of an appropriate word
3) fix (instead of an appropriate word)"
Among the examples I remember was : I'll fix dinner (instead of 'cook'), etc
I'll fix dinner (cook).
I'll fix the washing machine (repair).
I'll fix my hair (comb, style).
I get tired (become).
I get emails (receive).
I get it (understand).
Get/fix -are appropriate words, sure. But ....I believe that it is clearer from my examples what I am trying to say (than my humble attempt to explain it in words).
