We're attempting to not sound like chavs. We like our words.

Americans are retarded. Even when they're trying to be fancy they say "from whence" instead of "whence".

Do they say it or type it?

I think it's ok to say it but then you also have to say on on me.

They also say "different than". It's like they have something against the word "from".

It's retarded when people say english should be spelled this way or grammarized that way because this is not a defined language and has NO rules

and yet "out of" is standard all over, excepting the song "Move, bitch, get out the way".

So confidently incorrect. In fact, English has more rules than any other language.
