Most Americans / Brits I've interacted with don't know what a phrasal verb is and don't realize they're hard to parse. Canadians and Kiwis too, but they've often got much more experience interacting with non-native English speakers.

Take out vs. Take up vs. Take in vs. Take on, etc

I try to avoid using phrasal verbs wherever a simple verb will do. And if I have to use a phrasal verb, I try to keep it together: "let's take on this task" vs. "Let's take this task on". The latter requires an extra effort to parse. But obviously "let's take this task" works too and is simpler.

The worst is when Americans use baseball idioms without even noticing they've switched away from "base-level English".

> If we get this shipped by the end of the month it'll be a homerun, and if by the end of the week then I'll consider that a grand slam.

So... ship soon = good then, got it.
