Yes, you're right, the UK does look down on America. I don't, but I've noticed it is quite a general thing. From what I've seen and heard these are some of the things they laugh about or look down about. The most common thing seems to be the way you spell certain words or pronounce certain words, also, the way you change the meaning of some words. They say you ran off to America taking the English language with you and then changed it . All this language stuff has never bothered me personally but it does bother a lot of other people

ridiculous if you ask me! Then there's the footy, the English men even complain about you calling it soccer instead of footy

and there's the history thing, apparently Americans love visiting the UK for the history, because America doesn't have any of their own and so apparently that makes us superior to you

it's incredible how such unimportant things as language, history and footy can cause such divisions.. and THAT is just one reason why we humans could never or should never be left alone to rule ourselves



By the way, I love tea, but I've always thought we had India to thank for it??!!
