Question about English (US)
I've been taught :
to ring someone - British English
to call someone - American English
then, how should I rephrase "I'm gonna ring off now" in American English?(meaning, finishing a phone call)
I usually just say "I'm gonna go" with friends, but id rather want to know the exact counterpart expression of "to ring off".....

Ring off sounds British. In America we’d say I’m going to hang up now. This expression goes back to the days when you literally put down the receiver of the phone into its cradle
