Hey, Americans ...

Do you ever use forms of cliché other than plain old cliché? Such as clichéd or clichés? I see it used in a manner that I would consider wrong so often that I am wondering if it is one of those wacky idioms that English develops up all around the world. Or it could just be young people today with their emo music and Twittering ...

I don't think we can blame the Americans for much of it on the world stage before the early 20th century, though. I thought they restricted themselves to Central America up to that point.

Oh well if we're going to be all reasonable and stuff.
