Hey, don't mismanage your Empire, get your ass kicked by some backwoods ragtags comprised of a bunch of Irishmen you previously pissed off...and maybe then you can dictate language, mmmkay?
This is the only relevant thing the UK has produced in ages..... And I'm sorry, but anybody who says "fortnightly" is a big douche in my book.
they are just mad because we sent them packing back to the queen with their tails tucked between their legs after the American Revolution and they been bitter ever since. Funny how they try to tell a nation that whooped their ass and been a b**** to that country for over 100+ years how to talk... "You sit when you pee i said!"
24/7? ferreally? It's the least worst one up there. Snobby little wankers. Even complaining about pronunciation.
I don't recall ever asking them to use our phrases. They are more than welcome to use their own weird phrases, we will use ours. Thats the way it always has been. If some of their own people want to use our expressions, take it up with them, don't b**** at us about it.
The Brits have their own arsenal of weird and tacky sayings as well. Ultimately if the guy in front of you can understand what you are saying it shouldn't matter.

Stupid British English sayings which will never infiltrate America: - Howsyourfather (when you can't think of the name of something, possibly arcane) - Bob's your uncle - Way Out (instead of Exit) - To Let (instead of For Rent, plus kids will spray paint an "i" in the space) - WC (Water Closet, though this is losing usage I believe) - Having a ground floor at street level, then the floor above that being the first floor - Dustman (instead of garbageman)
