The americans say "I am GOING TO GO there"
meaning he is going there soon or in the nearest future. But the British don't speak that way. They simply simply say "I am going there"

And of late I am learning Spanish and there also I see this "GOING TO" effect. They say "Voy a decirle"....meaning "I am going to tell him" (the exact word by word translation)

Now my question is whether the americans adopted this "GOING TO" effect from the Spanish or the Spanish adopted this from the americans?

Plz be serious. Linguists are most welcome.

I have recently found that my accent is becoming Americanised as I have lived away from home for a long time. I find this a little disturbing as sometimes people think that I am American. How important is your accent to you?

This lady has been calling me everyday (usually around 1 or 2 am) . It is a matter of common sense to realize that I am NOT the person she is looking for because we don't understand each other. It is 1:00am and I want to sleep!
