Why do some Americanisms irritate people?

Not much is more 'American' than taking something from another culture and bastardizing it into something just similar enough to recognize. But to slowly pass our bastardizations back over to the original culture? That's just pure power.

I tend to agree that England should strive not to lose all of their culture to existing Americanisms, but part of what makes global communication great is the melding of cultures from around the world.
