You Americans and your amusing language loosely based on English

And don't get me started on "first floor" !

Oh, don't be so British. You've got last, second to the last, third to the last, etc. "First to the last"? An abomination, a scurrilous abortion of the English language. Pshaw!

I had thought it might be short for Ludite.
