are you one of those guys who is person b in this conversation:
a) can i borrow x?
b) i belive you can yes.
a) okay, damit, /may/ i borrow x?
and, to rebutt, webster believes it's a word
http://webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=nickle&submit=Look+It+Up
and we, unlike the french, do not trust the government to define
our language. which language, since you're being pedantic about it,
should probablly be called "american english" or "american" (as
everyone who does not live in the us calls it).
