I hate how British people say "agreed" as if it implies "was" and "to". And lots of other things it implies, such as who, when and why.

- thinkingemote 6mo agoI think it's short for "agreed upon"
- noduerme 6mo agoWell they're English, they invented the language. I don't know why they're trampling on it.
- tjwebbnorfolk 6mo agoHow do you feel about the word "okay"? The word can mean anything. Must drive you nuts.
- foldr 6mo agoI don't think there's anything peculiarly British about that usage. It's easy to find examples of Americans doing the same thing, e.g.: >The report, in an op-ed from commentator David Ignatius, cites a senior US official as saying that “the framework is agreed” and the parties are now “negotiating details of how it will be implemented.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/washington-post-says-framework-agreed-for-hostage-truce-deal-hamas-israel-to-cede-control-of-gaza-in-2nd-phase-of-deal/ https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/washington-post...
