People who start these sort of threads are just a little intimidated, maybe even have a bit of an inferiority complex.

They impeached him as well though, tbf.

Sorry if my analysis offends, Freud. I don't hate the yanqui, they are actually quite sweet with the patriotism and the flag-loving.

However, I fully support, and practice, the American pronunciation of Lieutenant. Much to the chagrin of many I know. There's no fucking F in it
Also, despite my bullishness above, I have been led to believe that American spellings used to be, on the whole, English spellings, and it is we who decided to change them some time ago. I do not know the veracity of this claim.

Cunts, ennit
Some Americans are cunts yes. Hardly unusual a country of 200million plus having a few cunts amongst their populace.
I have to use American spellings for work and I prefer them - they drop some superfluous Us (although not, sadly, in 'superfluous') and the Z gets a bit more of a workout.
What the fuck???
This is turning into some fucking american love-fest.

Hmm, well having just looked over submission guidelines for JAS again, I find that they require Z to be utilized (see what I did there?), ask that you spell focused with an extra S, but make no comment on the inclusion or otherwise of the oft quibbled-over U. So I shall go back to using the U with pride, and grumble (almost) silently over the need for a zed.
Which I shall always, from this point on, spell phonetically. Zed. ZED. MOTHERFUCKING ZED.

I can say a lot of bad things about Americans. I do have some American friends and I have lived there twice - once for 3 months and once for 2.
But now I live in Turkey and there are loads of Americans - Brits are a minority in the ex pat community. It's annoying being a teacher in a school with loads of Americans. I have to say that most of my students are very pleased to have a British English teacher and they like my accent - but all the Americans are convinced that their way is the best, and moan that we use British English books, and use annoying grammar like "I have" instead of "I have got" and "did it start" instead of "has it started?" It can be confusing for students and I always have to reteach them how to say stuff like tomato.
Also some of them are quite fake. I mean Americans on the whole are friendly open people. Brits tend to be more reserved. But when a British person is your friend, you know they really are, for the most part. But I feel like some Americans just behave fakely and use people because they want to go out and do something and don't want to be alone, not because they genuinely like you or consider you to be a friend. BTW it's not just me who thinks like this.

Are you moaning about Americans that aren't even in America ?

yes I am. Somehow, being out of your own country makes you act more quintissentially like the typical person from your country, in my opinion.

Plus, they are loud and obnoxious. And fat.
Well yeah you have a point there. It's not just American's though who act more quintessentially like the stereotypes they've been branded with though.
I think most people do that when they're out of their 'comfort zone' for lack of a better term.

As much as it was a terrible tragedy and I have the deepest sympathy for those directly affected, Americans have rather milked 9/11 to the point of absurdity.

What used to bug me about Americans was when they heard my accent they'd lay claim to be Irish too. This was particularly prevalent in Omaha where it got to the point one night that I replied "yeah you got ginger hair and your name's O'Neill and your ancestors, like many other irish, came here to build the railroad (sic) in the 1860s and none of them had the fucking sense to catch a train out of here ever since"
For the record I have fond memories of Nebraska but that bloody irish thing annoyed me...if kind of found it code for "i'm not eastern European, I'm not Hispanic, Im not black"

Damn, no parties on Urban's calendar for friday the 11th. I was hoping Johnny would kick off again this year.
