OK this has really gone off topic but yes I agree that the American way is seriously screwed up. Its just not common sense to do it the english way/the normal way
Well, we actually intended to do things differently, you see. :whistlingQuote:

A quick consultation of my copy of How/Why We Americans Do Things indicates that, with regard to dates, weights and measures, use of the letter "U" etc., all efforts were to be expended in aid of a felt imperative to (this comes directly from the text) confound the Brits.Quote:

That's the sort of post that makes me think less of you and your kind. I'm probably not the only one. :dry:Quote:

When people over here do hold forth about the Glorious Empire, it is often with a touch of irony, so don't be too surprised at the British reception of US citizens lecturing us on how great they are.
All that aside, let me ask you this:Quote:

This is the Lounge, ffs.
While I am (especially) loathe to speak for this thread's author, the place for lectures and history lessons is The Drawing Room. :whistling
Yeah we totally did ride the high horse during the Imperial era. Whats your point?
That horses should only be ridden in the Drawing Room. :blink:
What's my point?Quote:

The idea has merit, insofar as the equipment necessary for cleaning up behind the horses is kept there.Quote:

Plus, we never taxed you guys.
Is that better. :frusty:
