I've heard the word used by people fromAU,CA,NZ, theUS,ZA, andZW. I think the term British used this way is too specific, but I agree this is a neo-briticism in essence. I will change it to outside the US.Thecurran02:27, 23 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
That's why I prefer the use of the term Commonwealth English. We don't go around marking every English word used half a millenium ago as British for good reason. Where it's used defines what it is, where it was made defines what it was. IMHO, the term British does not properly convey where it is used and so is inappropriate. What do you think?Thecurran01:56, 24 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

The current etymology:
It doesn't saywhat was influenced, or where it came from. It's unlikely that all four languages did the influencing- some seem to have been added by "my-language-too" partisans. And, to top it off, the Wikipedia section linked to is a discussion of a phenomenon inAAVE that has nothing to do with with this term.Chuck Entz (talk)21:18, 5 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
I decided there wasn't enough reliable content in among all the flimsy guesswork, and no help forthcoming- so I just deleted the whole etymology section.Chuck Entz (talk)18:07, 11 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
73 lines long table of contents to scroll through, before seeing any first definition or part of the article, is amazing. from a usability perspective, just a thought. -Gryllida00:45, 10 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
