In America, Again.

Much to the dismay of my English friends, I am an America fan. Seriously. I'm not entirely sure why, or what it is that attracts me. I mean, I love the people in England more than anything, and I love England, very very much.

Yes there are people here who I hate not having around in England, but that cannot be the only reason. Who knows.

Anyway, the BBC did a poll on the 50 most annoying Americanisms. Going through these, I couldn't help but laugh. Some of them actually do irritate me, but mostly I think it is funny.

BBC magazine. Americanisms

A man counteracted this, and American guy saying he doesn't understand why we are irritated by it and why we think it is wrong. We don't think these things, we are happy with Americans to have their sayings and spellings, just we don't get when we are using them. Unless like a popular TV show has successfully infiltrated us and we love it so much we can't help but talk like them. Actually this as happened a lot.
We are just joking American peeps, just as you think it is weird when an American says "bloody hell" and "wanker"... it is all okay. So lets be nice, and agree that our languages will always be different.


Also having a conversation about American squirrels,  and how they definitely are less scared of people over here. So much so, that on the College Campus my housemates used to live on, the squirrels were crazy and refused to let people into their apartments by screaming and throwing things at the habitants. Insane.

So... I am in the middle of a heat wave. And I am a mess. But rolling on with American life, and loving the usage of my International Driver's License. Oh yeah.

Love
