Your point doesn't hold any weight though? I've heard the phrase lots of times from various people.

What if I said "I've only heard the word Americanism from Stalin". You wouldn't care and I'd be silly to expect you to take any feedback from me saying so.

I would say you are a rabid Stalinist in need of rapid correcting.

Your apologies are clearly worthless.

As intended. Glad you picked up on that. Well done. You're sharp.
