1) You live in the UK
2) You are a British subject
3) You have a British passport
I hereby request that all mentioned above read the following URL:

It is the "Americanisms" section of The Economist's Style Guide. I read it aloud (in a suitably Halfway Across The Pond accent) and had to stop occasionally due to having to relate some bit of it to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bookteacher (the slacker English major who can't be bothered to use proper punctuation most of the time (by her own confession, no less.) (I'm not any better.)).
That is all.
