New Only correct in the US?
What else counts? We don't at all mind confusing uppity foreigners.

Particularly those who accuse us of abusing "their" language.

Linguists say the closest language to ours is not that of England, but of Australia. I hold that is because both derive from the same criminal ancestry. Americans got out before the police came, Australians after.

John Hancock signed the Declaration of Independence so large because he owed considerable money to the British crown and wanted King George to be able see he had a bad debt on his hands "without his spectacles".

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?
