I've picked up a lot of Britishisms from interneting

I can't help it. There are a lot of things that I put in comments now on this site or on reddit or whatever that I've picked up from a decade of reading posts/talking on MSN to people from WWE-Club who are from the UK/Ireland. It's crazy.

Has anyone else had a similar phenomenon happen? Like, there are things that I catch myself saying that I KNOW I got from like Taj or Chewy or someone like that, and it's not even a conscious decision to use that kind of language. I'm not trying to be a poser European, I swear.

What kind of Britishisms do you mean, out of curiosity?
