uh-oh

Twice this weekend I caught myself saying things in Indian English. I find this quite troublesome for several reasons:
1. I already talk with a funny Canadian/American accent; like I say Zed instead of Zee and I say sorry the Canadian way...I just can't help it...Canada just snuck up on me and wiggled its way into my speech.
2. I absolutely cannot spell any more, living in France all those years ago messed me up a bit (I always misspell apartment - and yes, spell check just had to correct me) and I throw an extra 'u' in everywhere, like rumour and favourite.
3. Some of the Indian English is just plain wrong and I shouldn't say it.
So what did I say? Well first I said that I "got to know" something. You don't get to know, you find out or learn. Then I added "itself" after a word, as in saying "I'm flying to Goa on Friday itself". Why add 'itself'? It is implied. But they always do.
Oh dear. So I'm on mission un-indian english-ify myself.
I suppose that as long as I never say that I'm going to "do the needful" or that I will "pressurize" someone that I'm still okay. I actually kind of crack up when people say that they are going to "pressurize" someone. It makes me think of a pressure cooker. It is used when talking about sales, i.e. "we need to pressurize this client to enroll before the deadline".
I suppose I've been here quite a while now so it makes sense that I'm talking funny but I hope I don't talk too funny.
aside #1: I'm actually going to Goa next Friday, not this Friday - hooray for Goa!
aside #2: I successfully told my driver when to come this morning in Hindi. Admittedly I had to count the numbers out on my fingers to make sure I got it right but I was quite proud of myself and he likes it when I talk in Hindi...seeing as I was asking him to come at 5 a.m. I figured it was the least I could do to try and ask in Hindi.
