British author George Orwell (in English People, 1947, cited in OED s.v. lose) criticized an alleged "American tendency" to "burden every verb with a preposition that adds nothing to its meaning (win out, lose out, face up to, etc.)". Noun endings such as -ee (retiree), -ery (bakery), -ster (gangster) and -cian (beautician) are also particularly productive in the U.S. Several verbs ending in -ize are of U.S. origin; for example, fetishize, prioritize, burglarize, accessorize, weatherize, etc.; and so are some back-formations (locate, fine-tune, curate, donate, emote, upholster and enthuse).

Garrett employed Fred Steinmetz as her full-time interior decorator and furniture upholster. As the Garretts created their home, they traveled extensively, collecting art and art objects, some strictly decorative and others utilitarian. Their rooms were always embellished with museum-quality objects of art. Robert Garrett began the collection of paintings that Mary Jacobs would later devote much attention to developing, ultimately leaving to the Baltimore Museum of Art. Shipment of their Peter Paul Rubens, “Portrait of the Duchess of Cruye,” involved much correspondence. Another first piece acquired by Robert, the Rembrandt, “Titus, The Artist’s Son,” hangs in the Baltimore Museum of Art today.

Since the early 1920s, the American market has used the term broadcloth to describe a plain-woven, usually mercerised fabric woven with a rib and a slightly heavier filling yarn, used for shirt-making, made from cotton or a polyester-and-cotton blend . This fabric was introduced in the early 1920s as an import from the United Kingdom, where it was called poplin, but it was arbitrarily renamed broadcloth as it was thought that the British name had connotations of heaviness. Another version of this fabric, woven in rayon or polyester-and-rayon, is called fuji. Wool broadcloth with its felted, velvet-like feel, has been used to upholster furniture and car interiors.

Duke of Edinburgh. His most famous tapestry was ‘Age of Kings’ and is now seen as an iconic 60s print and featured in the V&A; collection.
