Ooo, that secret made me grit my teeth to finish reading it.

Reading fic has made me realize how few people actually seem to know the proper past tenses of so many verbs. Actually, tense changes in general, reading 'sat' instead of sitting was an epidemic for a while in the fics I read. (And they would use the proper tenses in the sentences around it! but for some reason it was always 'He was sat in the chair' I Hate It.)

[(Anonymous)]

"He was sat in the chair" isn't incorrect, it's British usage.

[(Anonymous)]

It's regional British usage and distracting if the characters and fandom aren't British.

I'm just as hard on improper Americanisms in those fandoms, btw.

And goddamned "anyways." Anyways is fucking wrong! /Gordon Ramsey voice

AYRT

I'm not British but most of my main fandoms are, so I got used to it. (I have got, NOT "gotten" used to it!) :D

Yeah, I'm British and I'd never say that.

Have people stopped saying "he's nutters" instead of "he's nuts" or "he's a nutter" in Potter fic yet? That was all over the place for a while, and it drove me... nuts.

[chamonix]

I remember the nutters thing! Misinformation spreading like wildfire. Always pulled me out of a fic when I saw that.

[tree_and_leaf]

Yes, it was so jarring (much worse than the odd Americanism).

No, it isn't. It's just wrong. Yours, a British person.
