Ever wondered why American sports commentators don't call their "pitchers", "bowlers"? Or first base, "silly mid on"? Ever heard of their "catcher" being called "wicket-keeper"? In their "football" they call their forwards "offensive" not attackers or strikers.

America has b@st@rdised our language in many ways, I do wish we wouldn't allow us to adopt their "soccer" terms as well.
