Why worry about Anglicisms?
Once you live in the United Kingdom, you eventually find out, that words, you thought they were English, effectively aren't. So nobody knows what a "pullover" is, they call it "jumper" over here. If you mention your "beamer", you only get stumped faces. It's a "projector". A "coach" is nothing you sit on. It's actually long haul bus or a train carriage. What the heck do you mean by "handy"? Ah, sorry ... it's a "cellphone". "Monitors" are being used for surveillance. You are probably thinking of a "screen". If you want to pass the security, they won't let you through with a "badge". You would need a "pass". And a "bike" is usually "propelled". Otherwise it would be a push-bike.
