No, "a large client of us" is not proper grammar anywhere in the former
Empire, Niall. Also, I've never considered grammatical rapes a part of
American English. I'll pass on the aluminium perambulator though. :-)
If you want to see an interesting experiment in English (and a lot of
incorrect information to boot), give MetaLink 169539.1 a gander. It was
brought to my attention with a commont on my blog since I'm starting a
mini-series about the NUMA aspects of Oracle on Opteron:

I can *nearly* forgive the marinating typo/auto correct, though
obviously I'd like it to apply to developers rather than the servers
that they work on. "a large client of us" though, urrgh, please somone
tell me this construct isn't common even in the former colonies. It
certainly isn't English and I don't really believe it is American
either.
