- pbhjpbhj 8y agoCranky Brits _think_ that "soccer" is a USA-ism, and so they hate it by analogy with parts of British-English that are eroded by constant exposure to USA media/culture. Someone in /r/BritishProblems called a zebra crossing a "crosswalk" the other day and as an en-gb native I couldn't help but be scandalised! ;o)
