Hello

As an American:

  • Why dowe have slang that doesn’t make sense? Example: we say commercial, Britons say advert. Like, advertisement.
  • I wonder if Italian/French people smoke as much as we do.
  • A Volkswagen Cabriolet was my first car, and I could immediately tell it was German because it had no less than 3 cigarette lighters, no cup holders(?!), and the heat turned on instantly.
  • Australia is what America would have been like had we lost the Revolutionary War. It makes sense the more you think about it.
  • Why don’t guys dress nice like they do in Europe? Like I understand we work a lot so we’re usually in clothes suited for that, but what’s wrong with looking nice when you’re not on the clock?
