The dumbest thing I can think of is really caring enough about either way to talk about it for a long long time.
I'm not sure if this is an Americanism but I've heard some people say it on streams and in some hip hop, which is using mental but not as an adjective? Just saying "my mental cant handle this" or something anyone else heard this before?
No, it doesn't. Just because someone thinks a word or phrase means something, does not make it mean that. That's not at all how that works. "Could" does not mean the same thing as "couldn't" and anyone who thinks it does is wrong. Period.
If by "style", you mean a region's way of writing/speaking, then sure, to some degree. But individual "style" is irrelevant.
Doesn't make much sense to have a building with 0 floors.
I used 'apartment' and 'store' all the time while I lived in London. No one said anything about my phrasing and I was understood. So, meh.
It stems from the phrase "I couldn't care less." It's literally just people being lazy with their articulation and not realizing it. The same reason people write could of instead of could've. It just means the amount of fucks people give is 0 unless people could give negative fucks somehow.
Thinking American and British english are different languages, rather than regional speaking patterns of the same language. Calling Jello Jelly. Flipping their shit if i call football soccer. Ignorantly calling american's morons without even talking to them. Assuming all Apple Cider is alcoholic. Alot of little things that bother me. Acting condescending because you're on an online filter.

Good to know watchmojoUK is just as stupid as the watchmojo in America.
Imagine being an adult and actually routinely watching stuff like this.

Numbering
Floor numbering is the numbering scheme used for a building's floors. There are two major schemes in use across the world. In one system, used in the majority of European countries, the ground floor is the floor literally at ground level, usually having no number, and identified sometimes as "G" or "0". The next floor up is assigned the number 1 and is the first floor, and so on. The other system, used primarily in the United States and Canada, counts the bottom floor as the first floor, the next floor up as the second floor, and so on.[3] In both systems, the numbering of higher floors continues sequentially as one goes up, as shown in the following table...)
As an American, I'm always perplexed when I hear British or Australian people pronounce a word ending with "A" as "err" - for some reason it grates on me. Also pronouncing the "h" in "herb" - though, I do believe we Americans (and Canadians?) that are the ones pronouncing it "wrong" in that case.
"Jessicker, did you try any different herbs while on holiday in Americker?"
However, also as an American, it bothers me that we pronounce the letter Z as "zee" when nearly all (if not all) other English-speaking countries pronounce it "zedd."
3 hints to surviving MMO-C forums:
1.) If you have an opinion, someone will say that it is wrong
2.) If you have a source, there will be people who refuse to believe it
3.) If you use logic, it will be largely ignored
btw: Spires of Arak = Arakkoa.
I was being facetious. I understand the logic behind it but it's not very logical. If you have more than one of something, your count starts at one.

Either is correct, as "herb" was adopted from French, where the "h" is silent.
Speaking of words that start with "h", something I find annoying is people who say, "an historic", etc. "An" is supposed to be limited to words whose pronunciation starts with a vowel, eg, "hour", etc.
Every time I hear someone say, "zed", I say, "Who?"
I love how people split hairs about this so much, when we have much more unusual words that are even more misleading that are used by everyone. Not just ignorant people saying phrases incorrectly. Bathroom, for instance, which is also just called a full bath, 3/4 bath or 1/2 bath. This is not even mentioning that many "bathrooms" have no bathtubs.
