That does annoy me, but to be honest, when I see it, 9 times out of 10 I attribute it to anglophile American nerds using slang terms picked up from Terry Pratchett, Dr Who, and QI. Because those slang terms are SO COOL and make you seem SO SOPHISTICATED, even though they clearly don't have any real command of them. You're absolutely right that it's extremely jarring. But I mean, seriously, you've never seen some American nerd using "bloody" or "arse" or something like that?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, I've heard little hipsters say that stuff, but the point is, if the characters they are writing about don't speak like that it's completely jarring which completely escape me this very second dammit. Bloody is just one of the words but there are many more that aren't as obvious that are actually worse for me. Yes I'm whining, but it's a characterization issue for me.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh yeah it's an issue either way

I'm just saying, I don't think it's all Brits doing it, it's probably some Americans too, which to me makes it even more annoying / infuriating. Because it's a conscious put-on instead of just obliviousness about slang.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, got it. Then I agree completely, said the taller man.

The problem isn't that there aren't Americans who use these terms, but that it's OOC for them to do so.
