People using "Americanisms"

[the other bob wilson]

Some of the Americanisms just come naturally now - cultural exposure I suppose. I use the term going/moving forward quite a lot in my work. I work with people who really lack motivation and I find using language such as that reinforces with the client that our plans are positive and as we work through them we will be gong forward in time but also progressing their situation. The phrase you offered alternative to that - I can't remember what you said - but it doesn't do the same job.

I said "in the future" or "eventually", I can see the point you are making as "moving forward" might sound more dynamic to some people, but it just wouldn't have the desired effect on me.
