[Dixielandjazz] English

[Jim Kashishian]

>Yes. There is a determined effort afoot to "dumb down" English in the USA. 
The use of "that" to replace "which" is almost universal.

For someone whose colloquial use English was somewhat "frozen" about 40 yrs
ago (when I departed them there shores), I find the constant use now of
"stuff" annoying.  Stuff is such an ugly word. Even the Brits are using it.
