Historically, double-negatives were considered proper or required in some dialects of English (or what would become English depending upon where one might draw that line). Many other languages require some form of negative agreement in negative sentences.

At work, at school, etc. are doing the same thing in US English. People are generally not saying "at my/the/a school/work".
If you're going to fix the calendar, we should move SEPTember to position 7, OCTober to 8, NOvember to 9, and DECember to 10 where they belong (or just rename them all to be number-based instead of an arbitrary mish-mash of numbers, people (Julius, Augustus, etc.), and so on).
I can't get behind that for fast-food-tier food. In fact, the opposite is always true for me.
Mistakes like "you're" vs "your" are generally not made by people learning English as a second language unless they've only learned by speaking (in which case, I'd expect all their spelling to be a mess given that English is a mess). Same with "could of" instead of "could've".
Less could historically be used in any case and still can today. The distinction was first suggested by a guy a couple hundred years ago.
I've noticed this in a lot of words watching youtube lately. Excape instead of escape, expecially, etc.
I've never seen the word 'slide' used like that here. I was debating over whether it was something more sock-like or more like a slip-on shoe or sandal before googling it.
About 10 years ago, I moved to Japan and don't regret it. The only real downsides are that my family is on the other side of the world and the yen is doing poorly against the dollar. Well, that and being a US citizen trying to do something silly like use Japanese retirement vehicles outside of pension (iDECO and NISA) is basically impossible because everything is considered a PFIC by the US, but that's true of many things in other countries as a US citizen.
Well, certainly less ominous than being based on where I'll die.
Worry, mostly (as a US citizen living overseas). I doubt my family would want to come over, and I doubt Japan would even issue visas for them to do so (on most SoRs, you can only bring over dependent family who are financially and/or medically dependent upon you. None of my family pass this test).
It really would depend upon what kind of conflict it became. If it involved the armed forces even currently overseas (though I doubt it), presumably, a number of nations would do whatever the hell they felt like if they felt emboldened enough by a preoccupied US. This would be checked in Europe, but I'm less sure about Asia. Then again I'm just a normal dude.
