Article: [senco-forum] Americanisms

Wonderful moment at son's last school when his new teacher told me he had "boundary issues". I think we did very well to remain straight-faced. Our son was four years old and it was his first day - presumably he went a bit mad with excitement.
  We now use the phrase "boundary issues" (so much more effective in American accent) wherever and whenever possible for personal entertainment - but never to our son. We're not scared of telling him he's being naughty - in English!
