*Yeah, twice. The burning and looting of DC? Big whoopee. See the Battle of New Orleans (yes, it still counts as a win, since no one knew about the Treaty of Ghent) and the exploits of the USS Constitution.

Heh. I've been in a fight for 7 years with a bunch of Brits and Canadians regarding their mistaken impression on the real victor of the war of 1812. Those Commonwealth folk have weird notions.
ETA to preempt any geek accusations. I know. I know.

This is treading close to Paigow terrotory (I don't mind "Cheers" actually), but is there anything more annoying than people who try to adopt a different culture because it seems cool? Yes, Dr. No and Monty Python were cool, but you're a fucking American! Your British accent is pathetic! Yes, you, the one down the hall with all the fucking vests and suspenders and bowties and ascots! |

It's interesting how no matter how much of a shit you think someone is, they keep coming up with new and impressive ways to be a shit. |

Mmmmm is self-confessedly in Chicago. If he wants to spell funky, he can move north. Or way, WAY far east. |

You may put the "u" in as many things as you like.

Does Canada not use flouride either? Most of you seem American-toothed enough. |

That doesn't even make sense, it's "fluoride" and I think you should bring up your kids in San Antonio. |

Oh, foo. I hate it when my rants founder on the shoals of common sense.*
Fine. Just for you, my dear, I'll try to restrain my impulse to throttle people from the US who spell in the Commonwealth style. I need to be more understanding. And nice and stuff.
