Anglicisms

I don't recall the author's name, but I think he also wrote Anglicisms.

"It's just unbelievably fascinating that he could write a novel about the most boring and unpleasant parts of life..." Ann Althouse 2009

Second, editors of books for the American market routinely eliminate confusing Anglicisms from the text.

"It is unclear whether Flew has lost the desire to reason effectively or whether he no longer cares what is published in his name." Ann Althouse 2007

Fourth, American English has become the world standard variety, although Anglicisms such as "vetting" have come into US speech.

"It is unclear whether Flew has lost the desire to reason effectively or whether he no longer cares what is published in his name." Ann Althouse 2007

Third, even Brits drop Anglicisms from their writing: it's been a long time since I've read anything featuring kerbs, gaols, or waggons.

"It is unclear whether Flew has lost the desire to reason effectively or whether he no longer cares what is published in his name." Ann Althouse 2007

Latinisms, Gallicisms, Germanisms, and all isms but Anglicisms; in some places pompous, in others vulgar and low.

I still wince when I hear/read Swedish with an excessive number of Anglicisms, but have learned to accept some of them as a fact of language development...and to accept that most Swedes have nothing against loanwords in an everyday context.

And I have a relatively high tolerance for Anglicisms, I was born in England and read a lot of British fiction, but I think the American one read as more neutral and less distracting.
