There's some truth in it---diaspora communities generally retain original language features longer than the mother community. But you're right because Americans have long since stopped deferring to the UK as the mother community, and have accepted their own variations as "correct" instead of as "deviations". This is evidenced by the fact that Americans refer to UK Englishes as accents and consider themselves to have no accent.

It's quite obvious... Google should go all the way and put wet t-shirts around their servers.

Except that "through" is functioning as a preposition in the GP's sentence:

If you're unconvinced, try substituting an adverb or another preposition:

* ...because going quickly school I had...
...because going to school I had...

Compare:

"Hey man, could I borrow your phone for a sec to call home? Mine ran out of battery."

"Hey man, could I see your credit card for a sec? (Mine ran out of money...)"

It's easier to agree to the first one.

Creaky voice/Vocal fry is very common. In English it occurs normally as people dip into notes lower than their normal range, and the article is reporting findings that people do it as a speaking style. In other languages, it happens at the bottom of the 3rd tone in Mandarin Chinese, and in Hausa it is a distinguishing feature: [ ja: ] (without creaky voice) means "he" and [ ~ja: ] (with creaky voice... the tilde should be under the j) means "daughter".

I feel like you may have missed the point. Adapting your analogy, consider that the sequencing step speeds up too, and is now an airplane. How will the trains and steamships keep up?

It's tremendously useful to through out data sometimes. It's called feature pruning. Get rid of the noise and the patterns become more lucid.

The problem here, it appears, is that sequencing is becoming cheaper and faster than processing the data, so unless the storage/transfer/processing methods and resources improve at a similar rate, they're guaranteed to be overwhelmed with data.

In other words, "Sure I can process this data in an hour. Put in the queue and I'll get to it in about a year.". Processing the data then takes a year, and this wait time will only increase.

My gut tells me yes.

... which means that at least one of them said no.

Maybe the submitter is French and has an accent, you insensitive clod!
