@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.

@ravenbait @oatmeal That is because of the crazy TV censorship rules, no swearing on American TV.

@not2b @oatmeal Americans on social media seem linguistically very tame to me. It has nothing to do with TV rules. But I'm Scottish, so...

@ravenbait @not2b @oatmeal (In an American accent) Oh you're from Scotland!? That's in England right?

@sentient_water @not2b @oatmeal You waited 4 months for this?

@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.
