Mods, can we make this happen? 😉

Or, a mod could put the infinity symbol where the post count is and be done with it.

English English?

That works for me 😀

I don't. We speak English, you speak American.

I'm English. You're American, deal with it.

There is no such thing as 'American'. You can BE American, you can't speak it. English is spoken here /subject. You even admitted you are wrong a few posts down:

I'm English. <---Fact.
I speak English <---Fact.
I live in England <---Fact.

British English is a type of English

I am British and English.

So why continue to post the same thing over and over again when you in fact went full circle, and may not even have realized it, if not to increase your post count.

Sorry, I mean American English.

No idea.

We have more genetic diversity in the US, which I read recently directly leads to a higher beauty quotient or something along those lines.

Shens. We may have more variety (since many native groups have enough genetic differences they are separate races) and when I lived in the UK I don't remember ever meeting any native Americans, Inuits, or Eskimos, but the UK has a much more homogenous society than we do. And I would guess that there is at least 2-3x as many interracial couples than in the US, and not just our standard black/white or white/Asian that makes up like 80% of interracial relationships over here. I don't buy the beauty BS, but if anything, "beauty" may be more previlant for the opposite reasons, in that in many religious and racial groups marrying (and having children) outside of your group is looked down upon.

Racism is also a lot more prevalent in the US IMO.

Racism is also a lot more prevalent in the US IMO.

I think it's about the same, really, or at least it was when I lived in the UK in the late 90's. There are definetly pockets in the US where it is more prevalent than others, and it seems at times like the tides. I grew up in Arizona, and no one cared about Mexicans when I was growing up, but now every problem is because of the "damn illegals", you know, the same people who were building all the houses, cooking in the resturants, and picking all the produce. It seemed like overnite they became the cause of everything that was wrong because no one wanted to put the blame on themselves.
