it's been a while since I saw "Nathan Barley" and luckily little of the catchphrases stuck - something being weapon, is that good or bad?

He's good in bruce allmighty. The first script was written by Gervais and team, the rest is purely american. Well done America.

yeah the references in it were all yank based, but nicely converted, the thing it lacked was character development, i didnt really give a shit about how the characters evolved unlike the original

could also be because you now know the concept?
I don't know, I haven't seen the American version.

That's the silly thing! Americans speak 'english' but really they speak american. Offices all over the world have micro relations. When I was 18 I worked in sorento (italy) as a translator. The only way I could do it was translate to english first.

but did you translate Italian into English? or the other way round?
which would make the sentence "The only way I could do it was translate to english first." kind of weird.
but not disturbing.
..not yet..

Americans speak American. British people speak British. No one speaks English.

you are mistaken.
English teachers in other countries than the UK or the US, speak English.
my dad is an English teacher and he speaks a sterilised kind of English - it is English, you recognise it as being such, but it's just not a kind of English anyone normally speaks.

So, your Dad never says slang ever? He never speaks colloquial language ever? Your Dad isn't from anywhere? A place where speach is constantly evolving?
