No, the X Factor Cheryl. I should have said random tweets relating to the show tonight.

I'm not entirely sure I agree with those on points 

Context and tense are both being abused.

"On point" isn't a new term, but I've always thought of it as an Americanism.

I know it originally as a military term: a soldier who's "on point" (also known as the "point man") is in the most exposed position of his unit. I think it goes back to the American Civil War.

 

I'm sure I've also heard it used on American legal dramas: it means something relevant to the case in question.

 

Its shift into meaning "good" or "perfect" seems to have been established about 10-15 years ago, but again I think of it as primarily an Americanism...

Just what I was going to post - an Americanism.

 

I think Eugene pretty much sums up my thoughts on the phrase.
