Remarkable, but true, apparently. I picked up my 13 year old daughter from the gym the other day and she asked "Dad, are you cross with me?", which I wasn't at all. It turned out that I'd put a full stop at the end of my text message to her agreeing to pick her up.
- elwell 13y ago13 year olds use the word 'cross'?
- sjcsjc 13y agoYep. Mine does, anyway. From near London, UK.

- nollidge 13y agoThat's one of those words that sound formal to American English speakers but not most others.
- acheron 13y agoMy 2 year old does, though he picked it up from Thomas the Tank Engine.
- drcube 13y agoIt's an British thing, in my understanding. I've never heard an American say it, but I see it in English literature all the time. I can only assume it's a regular, everyday word there.
