Here's a few that I notice from you guys over there (USA), while over here (Australia)...

You guys tend to drop particular words out here and there.

"A couple of hundred dollars" vs. "Couple hundred dollars".

"Needs to be fixed" vs. "Needs fixed"

It's getting closer and closer to this...

" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen>


But while we're here, there's also been a bit of an outbreak of confusion between "then" and "than".

And don't even start me on the use of "Could care less" when it should be "Couldn't care less". This one seems so fundamental. Do people not pay attention to the words that are leaving their mouths?
