American has some of the vices of English in an exaggerated form

[Costas]

Το βάζω εδώ, αν και θα ήταν για το English Language.

The American tendency is to burden every verb with a preposition that adds nothing to its meaning (win out, lose out, face up to, etc.).
G. Orwell Eng. People 38 (1947)

Θα το ανοίξω λιγάκι:


To begin with, American has some of the vices of English in an exaggerated form. The interchangeability of different parts of speech has been carried further, the distinction between transitive and intransitive verbs tends to break down, and many words are used which have no meaning whatever. For example, whereas English alters the meaning of a verb by tacking a preposition on to it, the American tendency is to burden every verb with a preposition that adds nothing to its meaning (win out, lose out, face up to, etc).
