Stinkycheese is quite correct. It's Jingoistic, and it's nationalist, but Scot, Welsh, and Irish aren't races.stinkycheese wrote:You sir are wrong, this thread does not contain any racism.Pacifist wrote: 2. THIS IS RACISM.
Well, I call my windshield a 'windscreen,' and I tend to even go as far as to use olde english (Thy, thee, doth, etc.) from time to time.misscrystal wrote:Maybe I'm a strange American....
I fill my fuel tank with petrol (the term 'gas' opens doors to too many crude jokes).
I usually use honour, colour, or favour (because it makes it easier to win at Scrabble).
Nearly every DVD in my cabinet is a British film of some sort (it's confusing for my children when I correct their pronunciation to ensure that they don't get their arses kicked at school).
I pronounce the last letter of the alphabet 'Zed' (that's the proper way, I feel).
And sometimes when I make a left-hand turn I'm overcome by a horrible, terrifying fear that I've turned into the lane of oncoming traffic (even though I KNOW I didn't).
I've never been farther east than Memphis, Tennessee. I was probably just exposed to too many British comedies when I was a kid. I have no real, good and true reason to do these things....
But that's ok....because Americans don't really need a reason to be strange..
