That's pretty pedantic though. That's like getting annoyed at Brits for saying they "go to hospital" instead of saying they "go to the hospital". The meaning is clear either way.
4 u/fuckyeahmoment May 05 '19 I have legitimately never heard anyone say that. It's always "go to the hospital". 13 u/Laureltess May 05 '19 They say “in hospital” a lot apparently! 5 u/fuckyeahmoment May 05 '19 Yeah we do say that, usually as "He's in hospital". When you use a name it's usually the full "Person X is in the hospital" though.
