I think people everywhere are taught misconceptions about other people in other countries. You will never know unless you contact people in other countries and ask them.
"By you Leave" is a very old term that was used in England a very long time ago. It is supposed to have something to do with social classes, when someone of a lower social class was in the presence of someone in a higher social class they couldn't just walk away without asking permission and their way of asking permission was to say "By you Leave" to the person who had a higher social standing. If you don't know what I'm talking about then I to assume either that it is no longer in use or that it is a misconception.

I don't think they can do.

I am English and have no idea what that means.

If I lived my life "By your leave" I expect I'd know what it meant.

So I don't think I live my life that way and I doubt other English people do
