Stop saying "ass", it's arse.
Next thing you'll be throwing zeds into words all over the place, going out for a slice of pie, drinking cwaufee, and worse of all, riding one of these:

There's been a serious influx of "ass"'s of late, and it bugs me.

Do you really care? I mean , really, really care?
A natural progression of language, speeded up by world interconnectivity. A large part of our language comes from Latin, some from French, much of which also comes from Latin, plus numerous other influences from down the centuries. But you feel free to try to strip it all back to whatever the "origins" might be.

I think using speeded instead of sped is worse than Americanisms

I catch myself using American slang too, dude being one of my most frequent, but nothing winds me up so much as the word "Ass". |
As long as we accept American culture, you stand no chance. If your generation doesn't embrace any of it, then the next will. I have no problems with an Americanised language: some of it seems more expressive than ours, so is useful. You may not like the word "ass", but you know what someone means when they use it. (Perhaps not the best example). I work with people who accuse me of using "fancy" words (I don't have a posh background; far from it!). I just say, well, it's all in the English language, which is there to be used to express what you mean. Every year, the Oxford Dictionary introduces new words into it's much revered publication, and many of those words come from the good 'ol US of A ( ). Others come from technical backgrounds, science etc. English will always be an ever-evolving language. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
