What gets me is an Americanism that seems to have only taken hold in the last 10 years or so - Normalcy. Apparently it's been in use since 1920 but I'm sure it's only recently become ubiquitous in the US. The word is NORMALITY my American friends. Normalcy is a horrible Frankenstien word which sounds and looks horrible written. =p
