Outside of England, the so-called English Courses are actually "Courses of Academic English Language used by Shakespeare, Blake and other authors who died at least one century ago".

You know, in my textbook "ace!" was still described as an exclamation widely used by young people to mean "wonderful, amazing, stupifying".
When I used it in a real-world dialog, the other person said to me "dude, that's SO 1970!"
It must be British as I've have never heard anyone say that, and if i did it would sound more like 1940's to me!
