The Yanks have used the short version for many years and it is their accepted spelling. Both spellings have been used since the beginning even though it's really only the Yanks and the Canadians that use the short form these days. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

"Customer services" - no they're not! they are a barrier between those who have the power to actually get  done and those that desperately want done...
Add to that "my (all) manager(s) are in a meeting" what? since last tuesday when I last tried to speak to them ! ? I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

To add to that last one, whilst you are on hold and the stupid message keeps telling you “we are doing everything we can to answer your call”, no your not because that would mean you hiring more staff to answer calls quicker.

Saying sat, when you mean sitting.
Missing out words completely. For example “I’m going shops” and “love you”.

I agree with Hugh regarding "enjoy!" when being served food.
My response used to be "I will if it's nice" but I got too many Paddington stares from SWMBO. Now I just say "I hope so". Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
