Re: What are your least favorite americanisms/britishisms/etc to see in fic?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I FULLY backbutton out of any SPN fic where Dean Winchester says 'I've not', like it's not that it's a britishism specifically as it is a sign that the writer has not actually listened to how the character speaks, so why should I trust any aspect of their characterization?

'Mum' is also VERY jarring when the character in question is a midwestern guy who was not raised on old british TV shows on PBS and brit kid lit, but for some reason 'I've not' is ALWAYS the one I see first. I think the thing about 'Mum' is, if you HEAR the character in question say 'Mom', like... what's not clicking?

I always feel bad when I'm like 'AMERICANS NEVER TALK LIKE THIS', because I *was* raised on PBS and British kid lit, and now as an adult a lot of my internet social circle is British, so I *do* periodically say 'whilst' and 'mum' and 'I've not'-- I wouldn't say I *say* 'mum' frequently, but I do often type it out that way when chatting about family stuff with British friends, kind of the way I might start mirroring someone's accent after listening to them talk a while. But like... I'm a very specific weird little man, and Dean Winchester is a DIFFERENT specific weird little man.
