True.
Regardless of how we speak, countries who use the English language typically know about the quiks of the other countries who share the language because their quirks are so different.
If someone’s trying to start an argument over it, then they’re just trying to look smart by overlooking this. So why don’t we just realize that doing this makes you look like some sorta jerk, and just stop it.
We got our language, and learned how to (ab)use it, from the English.
We aren’t the only ones who refer to the United States of America as “America”; odds are, when anybody says just “America”, they are referring to us. We are the only country with ‘America’ in our name.
I’ve watched your shows, Brit. You guys are just as bigoted as we are.
They love acting superior to Americans, because they don’t want to admit they were as bad or worse when they were the major world power.
(Playful or no, insults demand response, and I felt like obliging. Guns are too impersonal, and I only use my fists for dictatorial words. Also, please capitalize ‘Yanks’; it is a proper noun.)
As an American I tend to spell favorite as favourite from time to time, don’t know why though.
The correct use for the word “Candy” is specifically a “boiled sweet” So we do have candy in the UK, it’s just not very popular. The catch all name for all sugary things like that is “sweet”
Also note that a “Biscuit” is hard and crunchy, and a “cookie” is soft and gooey, but the yanks call both biscuits and cookies “cookies”
Also “America” spans two continents from the southern tip of Chile up through Greenland but for the yanks “America” means only the “United States of America”
They love getting their words wrong, because they don’t have that many.
(This post was meant in playful jest, not hurtfull racism. Please don’t shoot me.)
@Rostam Pretty much. In the UK, we call candy ‘sweets’. The little-kid slang of it would be ‘sweeties’ (e.g. “Aww, would widdle diddums like some sweeties?”)
So a ‘sweetie shop’ is a confectionery store.
i like carbon cakes!
It was a bakery set up by Sweetie Belle, nopony speaks of it.
