Vase in itself is fine, it's just when it's next to something American it goes funny.

Still don't know on the aww, shucks front; it's not something Amy would never say, either. We use it because we haven't got a direct equivalent, possibly apart from 'gosh' or something terribly old-fashioned. Maybe that's the answer in itself.

See I'm a lazy bugger and writing in a fandom where I possibly only have to restrain myself from being regional and then I'm fine... your rules all sound entirely sensible, if I was writing something intentionally American I don't know where I'd draw my lines but there would have to be lines... To be fair, most people probably care or notice a lot less than me. Historical precedent is probably a bad idea because there it's only the modern world that has developed the odd idea that there's a 'right' way to spell things anyway.

Word shortening versus word-dropping; ooo, interesting, yes.
