For me, what marks American out from English is not the (to us) archaic
gottens and prudish roosters, but the verbisations; that is, making nouns
serve as verbs. It happens in English ("He trousered/pocketed the money"
for stole), but it is rampant in the US.
My favourite: "... get a bat or a golf club personally signatured...".
Signatured. Instead of signed. Gaaaah. (Another American habit; what's
with the "personally"? Is it in stark contrast to the the presumably
inferior impersonal signature?)
Calvin: I like to verb words.
Hobbes: What?
Calvin: I take nouns and adjectives and use them as verbs. Remember when
"access" was a thing? Now it's something you do. It got verbed... Verbing
weirds language. Hobbes: Maybe we can eventually make language a complete
impediment to understanding.
