      And, whilst I'm writing... PLEASE, for the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, stop saying this to anyone else who isn't in the US: 1. 'Aw, snap'. Snap is a game of cards. 2. 'You're all set'. What? Game, and match? Please invest in some good copy writing. Thank you for your time.

        Suitable alternatives in the UK would be: 1. 'Oh bollocks'. 2. 'There you go', or, 'How's that', or 'Alreet'. Words matter. Thank you.
