What about get? Get means whatever you want!

American English uses get a bit more than British English, although young people here ( my daughter for example) have started using it instead of have. e.g. 'Can I get...?' when ordering in a restaurant rather than 'May I have...?'

Oh yes - the become/get thing!
I always cringe at customers e.g. in a bakery when they order  - not: "May/Can I have/get... - but: "I get a bread." As the seller, I would tell them: "No, you won't get a bread unless I'm so kind as to give it to you..."
Btw,  there's the famous German/English exchange between "get" and "become". The German verb "bekommen" means "get" and the English "become" means "get" in German.
("Waiter - may I become a beefsteak?" - "If you wish...")

Not really get sick as the sick bit is not a noun like a cold is a noun (I think that's why anyway, never really having ever thought about it before). So someone can say phrases like:

I am sick. I'm sick.
You will be sick. You'll be sick. (Often said to children who have eaten too many sweets).
I think I am going to be sick.

Also the phrase: sickening for something can be used e.g. I think I am sickening for something. I really don't feel well.

Sick can also mean being really fed-up, tired, upset or repelled with something e.g. I am sick of your behaviour. They are sick of the way they are treated at work. Similar is the use of sicken e.g. You sicken me. This is sickening.



I bet you wish you had never mentioned this now! Lol! Sickening isn't it.

Ah! It's your grammar that's difficult.

So I never get sick? Something I have to erase from my harddisk then....
