Cheers! For the English Only? · Feb 20, 08:36 PM
So one thing that really grinds on me is when American’s say ‘Cheers’. One question – why? ‘Cheers’ is well known when toasting a drink, or in England, it’s another way of saying ‘thank-you’. For example, “cheers mate”.
Replacing ‘thank-you’ with ‘cheers’ because you think it’s trendy or because it’s what everyone else is saying is just plain wrong. “Oh well it sounds good when they say it..” Bloody hell, don’t be a sheep and follow the crowd. Think for yourself. It would be like me going back to England and start saying ‘y’all’. Which would go down like a sack of lead balloons.
Cheers!
