Do Americans say “come round”?

[FastAway]

As in “that’s why I came round” or “come round later”? I’ve always thought it was “come over” but just heard “came round” on a TV show.

Sorry for the boring post!

Hopeful bump

When I Come Around should give the answer

Seriously IME come over is more popular but come round would be understood. You could say "he came around to my house".

Though think it might be more likely come around as opposed to come round. Come round would have as primary meaning waking up from unconsciousness.

I think. Been some time since I lived there! Think Canadians also say come round more.

I've mostly heard 'come over' (Alberta, Canada).

usually people here say "come over" but come around would be understood (I think - I do hope people have understood me all these years).

My friends all say over and I say round, but they all know what I’m on about. Most of the time.

I'm married to an Englishman so I say "come around" but I know I've said that to my sister and she was puzzled. She understood, "come over" so to answer your question, no, we don't generally say that.

No. I don't. I'm in the south though!

Thanks! It was a Brit playing an American (and script written by a Brit too) so perhaps it was a bit of improv or misplaced idiom.
