Brits - quarryquest thinks the phrase 'bleed out' sounds american, but isn't sure what would best Britishize it - any suggestions?

Random – I’m working with 221Bs, and Word ups my word count for using a dash between words. Apparently Word considers this – a word. Google seems to as well. I am very confused by this.

I saw Singin' in the Rain last night with no technical glitches! It was glorious. Biggest laugh of the night? Lina's bum over teakettle when R.F. yanks on her microphone cord; the theater erupted with laughter.

ETA - OK, I love it that 'calm' is Sherlock with a gun.

'Bleed out' doesn't strike me as only American. I've heard it used in our medical shows and cop shows too.

I went too! "Glorious" is just the word! :-)

I am so happy you got to go this time around!

Hm. All right. Thanks!

While I would agree - American terminology and slang tends to catch on over here sooner or later, after all - I would also offer "bleed to death" and "exsanguinate" as my preferences. Especially exsanguinate. ;)

guh...catching up, or trying to, and I did change bleeding out, though I didn't use exsanguinate - I wasn't sure John would be quite that artistic. Thank you for weighing in - it did all try to come together in my head!
