I am english and i have to say the only people that use them words are about 14 year old children who think it is cool. We like to think we are a powerful country because of our history and our size compared to other countries and some people are still stuck on the past and owning 3/4 of the world. People havn’t adapated to the fact were not as powerful anymore so shouldn’t through our weight around as much. Sorry i had to get that one cleared.

Back to the article, it was a big publisized thing here, i know your not meaning to sound heartless and that you do care, i think its just the majority of people here have herd about it that much it kind of sinks in so you become offended real easily.

Personally, I would rather Americans thought of us as a load of drunken yobs from Manchester, it’s closer to the truth. We working class Brits tire of people expecting us to look and speak like Lord Nigel Nodentistsbury Stickupthearseington Overpriviligeson esquire. We get all the ‘I hate you fucking limeys with your superior attitude and bad teeth and country mansions and tea parties with the Queen’. Then when they meet us they are disappointed that we aren’t that person. Its like being between a rock and a hard place.

I’m late to the fray on this, but did want to make the point that most Americans seem to forget …

England DOES NOT = UK

England is but a part of the UK just as California, say, is a part of the US with the U=United be it US or UK.

Apart from that believe what you want.

My friend started saying “LOL”, “LMAO”, and “JK” in everyday conversations with people. He thinks it makes him sound cool.

I thought the same thing! I always had this preconceived notion that all people from the UK were always prim and proper. Well, at least that’s how they come across in movies, and other places. Like there was a Facebook group I saw where a bunch of English people were bashing Americans because of our intelligence and somehow we’re dumber than them because we “butcher the English language and ‘American-ize’ it.” But then you come across people like the person you got hatemail from or most anyone from the UK on myspace, that totally makes people who think like that look stupid too. Or maybe it’s just the cool accent they have that makes us think they should be very proper. I don’t know. And I don’t like your comment about Texas, just so you know. I’m normal-sized and from Texas, and I’m not stupid. Why is it, just like we think all people from the UK are prim and proper, that people think all people from Texas are a bunch of slow-talking, stupid people who like to wear Wranglers, ride horses, wear cowboy hats all the time and big belt buckles?

This one is just for you then.

“Oh I say, you utter cad – profiteering your blog and the expense of a domestic tragedy. You should be hung, drawn and quartered or at the very least soundly thrashed and made to stand in the corner without any tea. You are a bounder of the lowest order and not very nice.

“You clearly need to be put in your place and I am sure my fellow members of the great and glorious British Empire will join me in not talking to you for a week.

“Let that be a lesson to you!”

Is that better? Sadly we Brits don’t talk like that and only do so when taking the piss out of toffs like Prince Charley. I have no doubt that a bit of stiff upperlippedness remains where there is enough family wealth to sustain it but sadly the average Brit brat has about as much brains as an American… (did you notice the insult – of course you did, which means that there are us types that think and those types that couldn’t type a good insult if they tried.)

…and anyway us “well typed” British subjects are far to occupied doing complex things that your foreign chaps couldn’t possibly understand.

Or something like that.

Cheer up – it ain’t all bad. Next time you feel you need a good insulting just drop me a line.

LMAO… yup got some hate mail from Brits myself. usually they are very clever and witty but the haters all seem to be

a)ignorant
b)dumb as fuck
c)fucktards
d)wankers

and yes. most of them do not know how to spell. I mean if you are going to tear apart a blog. at least use spell checker so you don’t come off sounding like an idiot. nice one bruv.
