Quote susan53 Some Americans have told me that they would never use "got" and for the examples in 5 would always say simply I have red hair/two sisters etc. Any comments? |
I'
ve got a couple friends that would disagree.
I'm sure there are examples of something like that in movie scripts or songs that you could point to. What about a search on an American English corpus?
I've been abroad and teaching English (in many ways) for too long. Half of my English speaking friends over here are British. My American-esque may be slightly compromised, but we'll see if anyone else has something to add.
The article sounds pretty interesting. I'm looking forward to reading it.
