I know this pain. I've felt like this has gotten accelerated since the 90s. Back then they made movies etc for US audiences so you'd find things like unique colloquialisms etc in scripts. Books did the same thing. People now write for international audiences and are made for the lowest common denominator and easier translation. I feel like half the modern movie book adaptations are made from books w/ Goosebumps tier shit writing.
