Mike Taylor ๐ฆ@oatmeal Speaking as a Brit: yes, but you forgot the guns in the How Americans Sound part.
NosirrahSec ๐ดโโ ๏ธ guillotine enthusiast@NosirrahSec @oatmeal Nah. Explosions are one thing, guns are another. They are the pervasive part of American culture that is most alien to us in the UK.

@oatmeal Weirdly, I think of Americans as swearing far, far, far less than we do in the UK. The only exception is Samuel L Jackson.
Advanced Persistent Teapot@ravenbait @oatmeal gotta respect the man's commitment to making up the difference

Joe โ๐@ravenbait @oatmeal That is because of the crazy TV censorship rules, no swearing on American TV.
@ravenbait @oatmeal You are probably right about that; there's definitely more swearing in person than online.
Semi Sentient AI Cooling Water@ravenbait @not2b @oatmeal (In an American accent) Oh you're from Scotland!? That's in England right?

@ravenbait @not2b @oatmeal No. I didn't realise there was a rule about refering to things from the past.
@sentient_water @not2b @oatmeal There isn't, but you'd think you could do better than an "ha ha thought Scotland was part of England" joke on a 4 month old post. I once met an American who asked if we had electricity and televisions in Scotland and meant it. She didn't need to know who John Logie Baird was, but FFS. It's too old and tired to be funny.
@ravenbait @not2b @oatmeal Yeah it wasn't my best joke. John Logie Baird was one of my childhood heroes. So no electricity? Wow. Truth is crazier than humour.
@ravenbait @not2b @oatmeal I wasn't trying to be rude to the Scottish or Americans. I find naivety quite sweet. More shocking is that there are plenty of English people who have no idea Scotland is a separate country.

It's always "Yeah!"
Jeff B.โธ๏ธโฏ๏ธ@Hirsutable @oatmeal Yeah, I'd agree. ๐
Black Chic with the Red Truck@Hirsutable โYesโ is for when weโre pissed off about something. ๐

Sorry. Sort of.
