Re: Bingo!
Ahh an answer - cheers mate. I can get pretty pedantic at 0100 after hitting the plonk.
Our common language diverged pretty smartly a few years back and both have borrow words and phrases, which is a good thing. That's part of the reason (in my opinion) why it has been so successful as a lingua franca (Frenchies' language!!) Add to that en_SA, en_NZ, en_CA int al and even the backwater represented by en_US and you get real hybrid vigor. Also, you should hear what the Eastern Europeans, Asians and others bring to the party - linguistically - here, it's fantastic. Obviously that is also happening down your way as well
However, if you lot go around dropping a word like doctrinaire into conversation on a regular basis then colour me deeply concerned.
I'll be sure to return the little doggies' biccies. Slipping? - you're having a laugh.
