I am so used to American slang, that pants doesn't even make me blink any more. Gotten is pretty bad, but say if you are writing about a British uni, and everything screams US college, I hate it! No one in this country shares bedrooms at uni, NO ONE. :( :(
Do you remember when we came out of male!Swan Lake screeching 'leather pants!' at each other? And it took me a while to go 'oh it's really strange we just used the American word'.
That is weird, but it's different as it's their choice, I've had to share a living room at Uni, but I don't think compulsory bedroom sharing exists here!
Sorry to butt in, but I know quite a lot of English people who say gotten. Probably as a result of to much American TV, but it's certainly around in the UK :)

I feel better now, haha.
And it really doesn't, also researching is fun!
We can do something else, what do you want to do?

Oh yeah, the school thing. I have come across that a few times, but I don't mind it too much, because I can see why it would confuse people.
I don't actually have anything to do, so I don't mind. When/where should we meet?
