Is "Englishism" slang? The term I know is "anglicism"

• jjgreen 3y ago
  Slangy (like liker), I prefer it since it's obvious what it means and it does not get confused with the Anglican Church.

    It means something different than you're insinuating: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/englishism https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/english...

      It also means something different [1], English is a huge unmanaged language, for a word with a possible interpretation, there will be a reference to that meaning in a dictionary somewhere.
