I read that Mid-west Americans actually pronounce English words most phonetically, so it could be argued they speak it more accurately.
HOW, can u say that.......we invented it..................u dont see the french deciding to have spanish as their native tounge and changing it to suit them, saying they pronounce it beter....have a word!!!
How dare you insinuate that undersexed British women took advantage of oversexed Yanks (and visa-versa) thus creating all those babies. Exactly what are you implying? Are you trying to make sense? Or worse, are you trying to somehow more closely associate the two nations in a base and immoral manner? For shame . . .
I recently read a book about WWII and simply quote it exactly from the book.
If you point your damn anger at me, you are so uncool!
No, most Americans in the US do not have a British history. We're talking people here, not the government. Big chunks of the US were colonized by the Spanish and even the French. The majority of white Americans claim a German heritage, not British.
The British idea that Americans are mostly of British origin is annoying (the term "Yank" seems to imply this...being of Spanish origin and from the south west, this is term that makes no sense to me). British people seem to think all Americans are in the north east or the south too. The stereotypes are either redneck southerners or WASPy east coast types.

I actually have a great affection for most of the British people I know, I and like a lot of British music & admire other British things. But for all their good sides, I find it amusing when these often obnoxious people criticize others for being the same way. It's kind of the pot calling the kettle black. Take a look in the mirror
I was being your advocate, young lady. I thought you made an interesting point. Let's not take ourselves too seriously here. We're all just jousting a bit . . .
