Would now be a bad time to remind you all in the USA that it took the help of the French to gain your independence?

No it isn’t. Japan is only one country.

Umm yeah, I think you mean AUSTRALIA…
But thanks for sharing your views with us ^^

3. OK.

4. It was an estimate. This one, I don’t agree with.

8. I totally agree. If I see another advert for injurylawyers4u I may cause a workplace accident and receive 100% of the compensation.

10.You cant think of ANY British cars? Well there’s the Austin 7, the first mass produced car to have a layout that we would now call standard, Aston Martin make some of the world’s most awesome supercars. The Mini was invented in England. There’s Lotus, Ascari, TVR (well, they’re bust now, but), British Leyland, Morris (Morris Minor FTW XD)

11. But roundabouts and miles are so much better. =p

12. OK.

14. German waiters? srsly?

15. It’s an accquired taste. But we invented ‘beer’ so the name’s ours.

18. I believe, internationally more countries play rugby than baseball, or at least, more countries have an international team.

“Unrelated Notes” – aka “t3h war!”

The Nazis only ever attacked cities BECAUSE they ARE industrial centres. They wanted to destroy the factories creating munitions, planes and tanks for the war effort, the civilian deaths were a result of this.

When on the ground in WW2, the British may have fielded one man for every 30-40 GIs. I believe they’re called “Officers”. But seriously, there are 30-40x as many Americans as there are Brits, proportionally, it’s very similar.

This whole conversation/debate/whatever is a little too pompous

Enjoy

You cannot speak American because American is not a language, it is a dialect influenced by the either the lack of education (I’m talking about hillbillies back during the early years) or other languages with that speak English with a thick accent that is evolves the language.

I don’t know if that made sense or not. I just probably made an ass out of myself.

3. No

4. Now where did you get 27 from?

5. There is no such thing as British English. See previous dialect posts.

8. You have the same problems with therapists and frivolous lawsuits.

10. We do use German cars. Try using some of your own cars…wait I can’t think of any.

11. Am I believe that there are no intersections in England at all? Also if I recall correctly the British don’t use the metric system 100% of the time.

12. The US is 5 times more populous and about 40 times area wise. So we therefore must drive much more so no.

14. Sounds crappy. We need waiters more like German types. That don’t bother you every 10 minutes.

15. British Beer sucks just as much as American Beer.

16. I really don’t care that much about actors and such.

17. Not much a fan of sports so really don’t care.

18. Not sure if you have seen sports out side of making fun of American sports or your own. Many Asian countries are quite fond of baseball. In fact baseball is an Olympic Sport. Rugby is not.

In unrelated notes.

We were two years late in joining WW2. Yet you must remember, not only did we supply you with precious supplies. But we were fighting on two fronts since 1942 then on a third in 1944. (Japan, Africa, Europe). Commenting on the British productions that claim to have been hampered. The Nazis only ever attacked cities and RAF airfields, they hardly ever attacked industrial centers.

When on the ground in WW2 the British fielded one man for every 30 to 40 United States GIs. A fact that was acknowledged by the British themselves.

P.S. The rest of the world really is getting sick of hearing you Septics bleat on about anything that flashes through your minimal minds.

Also, baseball is played in a lot of other countries. Just because your country sucks at it doesn’t mean it’s not a world sport.

btw AUSTRALIA FTW

Shame we never got Coupling off the ground, and that the UK version died so young. Good stuff, that.

Every language in use today is simply a derivative, bastardization, and/or amalgam of one or more older languages. Arguing that your British dialect is the “correct” form of the language is an exercise in futility.

Additionally, Humphry Davy, the British chemist who is credited with isolating the element known now as “aluminum” or “aluminium”, originally called his element “alumium” in 1808. By 1812, he changed the spelling to “aluminum” (note the distinct lack of a second “i”). It wasn’t until sometime that year that some anonymous British twit took it upon himself to change the spelling to “aluminium” on the basis that aluminum “has a less classical sound”. Your country’s inability to correctly attribute a word’s spelling to its creator is not America’s fault.

Sincerely,
America

Personally I think they’re all pretty funny, Monty Python topping them the list naturally.

Japan Times

FWIW I preferred Buster Keaton or Laurel & Hardy anyway.

First off, the British have had their share of great ideas but I think this photo is belittling the countless contributions America has made to the world, such as this Internet thing we’re using right now on this thing called an electronic digital computer, both of which are largely American.

Second, British people can spell words how they like and Americans can spell words how they like. This one really gets me. Who cares what the language is called? The fact that Brits seem to get so worked up over this is baffling, especially when there is no clear superiority about their spelling (quite the contrary in my humble opinion). If anything they should be more mad about stuff along the lines of how we’re still using their outdated empirical system instead of the newer metric.

About the world wars – Britain kicked ass. America kicked ass. Both were crucial in preventing further tragedy. Why not leave it at that?
