Thats how Americans think through is spelt. Its even in their dictionary!
I'm a American and never seen it spelt that way, it's always been through... did som research looks like it came from Scottish english
Looked up Europe and it's also drive thru? I guess it's everywhere and not just those pesky Americans
It's almost like abbreviations abbreviate... for brevity.
It... Really isn't though? It is used on government road signage in the US. Its in the US dictionary and has been for decades.
Not sure how that counts as 'slang'.
Yes, defined as non-standard. It may be time for you to look into abbreviations and why they exist.
Ha, it really is.. What do you know.
