Do us Yanks use too many British terms? imlad - 24/10/2012 03:28:53 AM 1064 Views
I use very few of those terms and thankfully, I'm not a "Yank" or "Yankee" Larry - 24/10/2012 03:46:40 AM 845 Views

I may be wrong, but I believe it's called a football because it's 12-inches long. Gher - 25/10/2012 07:15:28 PM 900 Views
Using a non-Metric system of measurement is total nonsense. Bergioyn - 25/10/2012 07:51:27 PM 786 Views
How can you say that?! Gher - 25/10/2012 08:40:20 PM 877 Views
I'm an evil European. Bergioyn - 26/10/2012 04:20:57 PM 874 Views
I don't think so. Has to do with its historical origins in rugby football. *NM* Legolas - 25/10/2012 09:17:20 PM 340 Views
Regulation balls are shorter than that, and "gridiron" is an unambiguous international term. Joel - 26/10/2012 11:41:18 PM 774 Views

Bad example. Sheep is both a singular and plural noun. *NM* Narg - 24/10/2012 02:47:34 PM 333 Views
That may be the problem. Joel - 27/10/2012 12:00:49 AM 797 Views

You all need to include some Irish-isms into your daily speech. Stephen - 24/10/2012 08:26:30 AM 894 Views
One British term I agree is horrid when said by Americans imlad - 25/10/2012 06:20:54 PM 865 Views

Affectation almost inherently reflects trying too hard, and imitation is unoriginal. Joel - 27/10/2012 12:10:52 AM 808 Views
