Americanisms

Here are some more quirky American things:

• '2007' is pronounced 'two thousand seven' not 'two thousand and seven'
• 'how y'all doin?' works for the singular. A little offputting when you're on your own
• 'I'm sorry' is the sweet response when you tell of something bad happening
• checkbooks have pictures and you can choose which picture you want to have
• '00' is pronounced 'zero zero' and never 'double zero'
• 'a couple times' instead of 'a couple of times'
