Here come the twits

In brief:
  • 23:58 tx to @skud for retweeting my @wordnik footnotes at tonight's #freebase talk - sanity check: somebody *not me* thinks they're funny! #
  • 11:58 RT @emckean wotd: britpicking "removing Americanisms from the speech of characters who are canonically British" (esp. fan-fiction) Tx @skud! #

I often use twitter to mention what's happening or linkdump. I LT here for posterity.

What do they call removing Britishisms from American characters? (which I see way more often, but then I don't read HP fic)

I don't know -- shall we coin something? I'll ask kirrily (@skud) if I think of it.

"Americriticize"? "Dick-spotting"? "Yanking the Brit"?
