So I am pretty sure that in the UK just as in most of the world US pop culture is very prevalent, so my question is does it lead to Brits especially younger ones adopting US words in their daily vocabulary? For example calling Doritos chips and using the term french fries? Or calling outer pants pants and calling underpants panties? Or saying an elevator instead of lift?

Does it happen?

Do people actually care?

Ja osobno nikad nisam razmisljala o ovome, ali eto bas me danas to pitao decko koji je iz SAD-a i tamo su fakulteti u 99% slucajeva na jednom kampusu/lokaciji. Cijeli faks na jednom velikom kampusu, ima iznimaka ali malo.

Mene zanima zasto nije tako u HR? Zadarski faks ima kao kampus neki ali tamo je samo dom i jedan dio studija ne sve kao u SAD-u.

Zna li netko razlog? Bilo bi prakticnije da su na jednom mjestu a ne rastrkani okolo.

So for context I am Croatian, live in Croatia and have lived here my whole life while my boyfreind is American but he moved to Croatia like 9 years ago.

He told me he finds it super cute and funny how I will mix southern, northern, African-American slangs and all that with a Croatian accent. Now he is my boyfriend so maybe he is biased but I want to know how an average American sees it. Since a lot of non-native speakers boost their language through exposure to pop culutre it often leads to knowing and mixing various slangs. Does it sound weird and unnatural?

I just watched an episode of Law and Order SVU and saw a rape in a college fatornoty fraternity what is that? Googling didn't help at all I got even more confused? A bunch of guys living in the same house like why? Why not use dorms or apartments? Some weird hazings? Can anyone explain?

Znaci ovakva je situacija. Ja sam zavrsila gimnaziju u Zadru te nakon toga

A) Probala ekonomiju (redovno) u Zadru, bilo pretesko pa ispisala

B) Probala informatiku (izvanredno) u Zadru, bilo pretesko pa ispisala.

Sada planiram promet u ZG jer jel treba mi faks posto imam gimnaziju a ne struku pa me zanima je li laksi od ekonom i od info?

Posto sam polagala HR na B razini (uzasna sam u esejima i razumijevanju i interpretaciji knjizevnosti pa polaganje ove nove "ujedinjene" mature da imam A razinu nije opcija jer je nova forma eseja 10x teza od A razine kad sam ja polagala) nemam bas sirok izbor fakulteta pa sam odabrala promet.

Pa je li on tezak ili ne?
