Americanisms

In My Humble Opinion:
Americans should not use the term "Cheers", unless they are holding a drink and tapping glass rims with friends and they can't think of anything more clever to say.
nor should they use the word that sounds like the word chow (I refuse to spell it properly).
These are words that should only be used by people with accent's. every time I hear an american use these terms I always asume they are trying to be something they aren't.
I think that the only exception would be if you are truly first generation and you have to transelate for your P's. Then and only then is it OK to say "thanks and see ya" by saying "Cheers" or "Chow"
Don't get me wrong.... It's not that I have no respect for my european heritage.. it's mainly that I feel we as americans have enough cute little ways to say "bye-bye" without swiping other culteral cleverisms. I love Ireland (WHISKEY AND BEER), and god knows I would love to spend a few months traipsing around Italy on my bike looking at art(whatever?), drinking WINE, and eating FOOD. but...
If it was so great would so many people have come to Amerigo Vespuci's mislabled end of the earth to look for something new? mmmmm.

I will leave it to you "OFFMEN" to figure out how tounge in cheek this little rant is.
