Turtlesunday 101 Right?! I’m not offended though. My neice lived in England for 5 years, and when our family went over for her graduation from uni my niece took them for dinner at a friends home - her friend is a very posh Brit who was super triggered about loads of things. My nephew tried to get the conversation going bc they just sat silent mostly during dinner; he mentioned the revolutionary war and well girl it was not a good thing! Mrs. X was angry!! So embarrassing - how could my nephew not think of anything else to say! Idiot! I’ve noticed from movies, tv shows, vlogs and such that some Brits become super triggered about their fellow ‘patriots’ turning against The Crown to start a new country in America . Maybe they feel once a treason always a treason - I don’t know.
Almost all the points we're correct though, in general. I mean they were completely right. Americans are just stuck up their own ass more than most countries. There's nothing wrong with being patriotic, but Americans really take it to the extreme that they can't even take a joke.
Not offended- just had to laugh when Joel said “It’s our language! You took it!”... no darling, we didn’t take your language. You gladly brought it over when you “settled” here 😂
Right? In the states though, we're bragging about it, because we have every right to, but outside of the country "yeah, I'm from America" if they happen to ask which state we're from, then our Texas pride rears its beautiful head

You know... thank God for America. Britain has a Queen, but it’s not like she has any power. What’s the point? Brits think we are ungrateful to them (and we shouldn’t be grateful to them). But they should be grateful to us because after we claimed our independence they reduced the authority of the Queen in Britain, since they learned how unfair their system was. 🇺🇸
Tammy Seltzer It’s meant to be a joke. British humor is steeped in sarcasm and intellectual humor. As someone who lives in Boston, there’s actually allot about the revolutionary war that Americans are not taught or taught incorrectly. It was the wealthy slave owning land owners who were mostly opposed to British rule. You see GB abolished slavery which was going take affect in the American colonies. The wealthy tobacco plantation owners obviously didn’t like that idea; however, convincing the rest of the colonies to give up their British identity and all of the benefits that came with it, was going to be a tough sell. Being an American colonist had tremendous opportunity for upward mobility that was unattainable back in England due to a rigid social structure. The average American colonist could literally escape whatever social constraints they had back home and carve out a much more prosperous existence in the American colonies with the backing of the crown to protect them and purchase goods produced in the American colonies. The average colonist were actually devout loyalists. The whole “no taxation without representation” was propaganda derived by wealthy slave owners to convince the rest of the colonies to rise up against “British tyranny” so they can continue to own slaves.
Actually Americans in British originally sounded the same. Some time after the revolution the British actually fabricated their accent and dialect. Rich people actually paid people to teach it to them.
Bad Cattitude Exactly! Many coastal regions, and islands have accents that are pretty close to the original British accent that was brought over to the New World. I live in VA - east coast. Guinea near Gloucester, Va has for the most part retained their old accents. So we didn’t steal their language - it was ours as well, and we just didn’t evolve in the language with them.
I think "Valley Girl" would be pretty easy to do, and maybe even a Tennessee accent as well, but let them try to do a Minnesota/Wisconsin nasal thing. That would be fun.
They dont like talking about taking L's even if we are their closest strategic ally militarily and are basically always going to back each other no matter what. Even in Paris when I was getting told off by Parisians for asking if they spoke English I was grouped in with the English. They told me no I don't speak English (in English) only Americans and English think they should be able to go to other countries and the rest of the world should speak their language. It was pretty obvious that many people in Paris spoke English fluently.
Annika Martin I I was thinking the same thing! How could Brits not know the day that Americans signed a declaration of independence to break away from England??? It's a part of British history just as much as it is American history!

FYI: The majority of the time when Americans say to a person from Britain "You speak English very well." It is a compliment because the majority of Americans find the British accent very proper and pleasing to the ears.

Maybe I should have been more specific. In the case they mentioned, it was rude to ignore the driver. All you have to do is say, "I'm really tired and don't want to talk". Driver will shrug and abide by your wishes. But, if you just ignore the driver it's like you think you're better than him or her. Get it?
Also here too rural areas people are way different than those in cities is it the same on that side off the pond? Sadly the average American could not afford to go to the UK as well so you likely meet our self entitled narreressist types a lot
@karen may it's just ironic though how US really is not all that different from the UK except plug in outlets are different and we are taxed differently but when you add them all up they likely come out to be the about same. And now days and times people can't really rebel against any government cause their might is to great it's why I suppose eventually at some point no one will really have the rights and freedoms we all take for granted now. It's just matter of when that new world order begins. How has the whole brexit ordeal effected things? I have heard for some it's good and others it's bad.
Thank you! Stereotyping is SO offensive... But for some reason it's perfectly fine if you're making fun of a southerner! 😠 It's even worse when you can be pretty sure the person has never known more than one person from the south.
A fairly large percentage of southerners seem to be quite thin-skinned. In my experience they are highly conscious of regionalism and critical of others outside of theirs, but love to claim victimhood over barely existing perceived slights when the truth is that the rest of the US really doesn't care that much about regions.
@@echt114 my simple theory...a culture of dueling (fist or pistols) produced a "polite" society. Certain things were not said so as not to induce a duel. So when those are mentioned now it is perceived as an insult.

Michael Pearce ... yes!!! I went to a little restaurant in machesney park , in northern Illinois ( right on Illinois Wisconsin line) they had southern fried Scrambled eggs With Biscuits and gravy.... in got so excited 😆....

The US was not founded to merely create a new nation of Americans . It was created to preserve individual liberty! And the creation of the states was the structure designed precisely for this purpose.
@@apga1998 notice the words you selected especially individual and liberty you kind of backed what they were saying. America has very independent roots
@@anon7248 well, remember that the Pilgrims came to America in search of religious liberty. They sought freedom from the State and its Church of England. In England, people were being burnt to death and persecuted for believing heterodox religious doctrine. America devised a solution to this problem. That solution involved making human freedom paramount. And the solution also involved finding ways to diffuse and minimize the power of the government. I hope you will always vote for freedom. Best wishes
What I find funny is people from around the world seem to know everything about the states; when our election is, absolutely when we do something controversial, they know more presidents names than most Americans, but when it comes to simpler things like 4th of July they won't know it that the American flag requires respect

😁 LMFAO. I have!! I got the idea from True Blood when Jesus"was at Merlotte's and ordered one to see if Lafayette would make it or not. After seeing it I had to do it. True Blood was a bad influence in my life. It's one of the many reasons I own all 7 seasons. Lol. Damn I miss that show.

I think they might have taken one or two short trips to specific places in the US, and mainly interacted with young people in bars, or airports. Maybe undergraduates. It’s OK. Tourism is fun.
I'd say the reason any American would be offended by trying to do American accents is because I've found british people tend to either do a heavily southern accent or a valley girl accent which are both seen as unintelligent. And the reason we can see right through them is bc it is extremely rare for anyone to actually have either of those accents, especially valley girl, and I gre up in Sothern Cali
I do agree with you. I do not have southern accent from my Mom nor northern accent from my Dad who came from Pennsylvania. I had been born and raised in Georgia. Most people will asked me what country I am from even though I had live in Georgia all my life.
Rare to have a Southern accent? I beg to disagree. Considered uneducated? Only by Northerners who never had a classical education as they had in the South until the feds destroyed our education system and replaced it with propaganda and narrowed degrees meant only to earn a living.
I'm sure that they are taught that we gained our independence from them and when, but it's not something that they would probably be tested over since it isn't really directly apart of their history. It doesn't directly affect their country.
No it's literally is just a small blip in their thousands of years of history. There's so much history to teach that they normally go for medieval which all happened before the USA's independence. Ont he other hand, it means a lot to Americans as it's the creation story for the country they live in. Outside of America, we only know about 4th of July if it's on an American TV show or you happen to visit when it's happening.
@@sorettaray8829 Well, true today with you guys. No reason to know I guess. On the other hand in 1776 you guys were none too pleased on getting kicked out of America.

@@hannahdyson7129 There were two - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire#"First"_British_Empire_(1707-1783) Most countries were pleased to be part of the first, and many the second, in the same way that countries want to be in the EU. There's no denying that it was successful. Also, slave trade was abolished in the empire in 1834 (due to the Industrial Revolution).
The climate thing confused me. That’s not an American thing, that’s just because of victim culture which is present in all of western society. people compete to see who has it worse because everyone wants to be a victim. it’s the edgy hipster version of one-upping, and it has nothing to do with location
The accent one confused me the most. I've laughed at fake American accents, I've cringed if they're bad enough, but most people are just fine speaking as they are. No one really blinks twice at any sort of accent, probably because our culture's so diverse, unless there's someone with a really thick accent, but usually it's more figuring out what they're trying to say.
You're almost correct on the "no talking" one. The busier the city, the less you should strike up a conversation. The smaller/more country a town is, the more you should strike up a conversation. The only exception in the south. Everyone's willing to talk there.
They have been to New York and New Jersey, and I think they hated the service they got there when they went out. So they have experienced the attitude up there some

@@m0zz4re11a1 super late reply, whoops. Most cars here have air conditioning, and if you're driving in the south, you aren't going to have windows down. That takes care of bugs. As for being bored, you usually travel with someone. There's a bunch of road-side games like "spot x kind of car" or "find as many different license plates as possible". Depending on the state, sometimes the scenery is so nice it's enough to look at for 5+ hours.
I went to college with a guy from England and when I would get drunk I would shout at him in a horrible impression of an English accent "The Queen is a bloody whore" he would get pissed off and say: "no shes not, dont say that. You can say she is a bitch but dont call her a whore" at first I thought he was joking but we ended up having a heart to heart about me not saying that to him ever again. They also love when you do horrible impressions of their accents and insist you sound just like them.

@@cakiepop2038 we learn about the British empire, but some study American history during gcses which you choose to study so that's why im saying not all of us learn if because its taught after we decide to study history or not
So...when Brits are taught their own history do they not learn about that time long ago when the unbeatable British army was handed its first major defeat...you know, during the American Revolution for which we celebrate on the 4th of July??? Perhaps that bit of British history has been whitewashed or just outright glossed over. After all, why elaborate on your own colony's rebellion and the humiliation of losing it. Just theorizing here.
We don't learn anything about it, nor about slavery. We learn the Victorians and The Tudors, Reformation, WW1& WW2 and history of medicine. Irish history if you're lucky. It's pretty horrendous. We hardly learn about other countries at all at school. Nowt about Europe apart from the wars.
I have an aunt from England and she had no clue lol. She said, "It's not my history!" Well then where did all these white folks come from and why does everyone speak English?
I think it’s so glossed over because of how much territory England has had as a whole. Of course they don’t own any of it now but they had territories on every single continent so looking back on americas separation now it doesn’t seem relevant enough to cover

Well done steak tastes better than uncooked meat and everyone should eat it according to their taste buds preference instead of acting like a sheep to marching orders of cultural elites.
I apologize in advance but. We all study world history differently. So the American revolutionary war in the rest of the world is called the Anglo-French War (1778-1783).
Peter Wolf what did they call the 3 years of conflict leading up to France joining the war? The shot that started it all occurred at Concord and Lexington in April of 1775. I’m not trying to be an ass I’m truly curious
I'm not offended when other countries don't know our history (a lot of Americans don't either) but I know a lot of the British history because I had excellent history classes. It's funny when people say they don't know American history because it's not their country considering it's a younger country with only a few big dates to remember. Learning world history and all of the dates was a pain in the ass having thousands of years to learn but I learned them.
Weather: “I feel like Americans have to have it worse”. Uh, we have hurricanes, tornados, earth quakes, land slides, tropical storms, heat waves that can melt the skin off your face, floods, snow fall that takes weeks to dig out of, nor easters that can wipe out whole cities, but yeah, your couple inches of rain and that two day heat wave must be killer.
I usually love to listen to your channel and understand both sides because my mother was from London and my father was from North Carolina. I suppose the American part of me is rather offended at the fact that you won't talk to people in America who are speaking to you. We are genuinely friendly, kind, caring people (especially in the South) and I don't understand why you would turn your nose up at that and not speak. It just seems so hateful. When in Rome do as the Romans do! You might just meet some nice folks if you drop the unpleasant attitude.
The history of the UK is too long for all major events to be taught in schools. That said, I knew about the 4th July from US TV and films, it's pretty common knowledge in the UK as well.

@ᛞᚢᛋᛏᛁᚾ ᚺᚨᚴᛟᚾᛋᛟᚾ Well... it hurt America to break off from UK, too... at first. As you said, Brexit is likely to hurt UK in the short term... it *might* help them in the long term, though... so the original comment about it "being our Brexit" might well be more salient than your post would suggest.
The British Empire was once so big it spanned the globe and comprised literally 1/5th of the world's population at the time. It also invaded every country except for 22. So from that standpoint losing 13 colonies out of hundreds really wouldn't have seemed like that big a deal. Also the Brits only lost 13 out of their many North American colonies. Specifically 5 of them refused to rebel and survive to this day (albeit as part of a federation but still within the British Commonwealth), they were: Quebec, Nova Scotia, Island of St. John, Newfoundland and Rupert's Land; aka Canada.
@@HuyLy94 However, the Brits lost the ONE colony with the most military and industrial might that, perhaps, the world has ever seen in the 20th and 21st centuries. A former colony that came to their aid in both WWI and WWII with overwhelming amounts of men, material and armaments that ultimately turned the tide against the Axis powers. How would a country, such as England, forget such an important date like the Fourth of July . . . ?

I have met some people from England whose English sounds so perfect. The pacing, perfect annunciation, etc. is so amazing it blows me away. I have also met those who had the Cockney or heavy Scottish accent, but that is more amusing.

1. The standard Canadian accent is very similar to the standard American accent; what if it was a Canadian asking you for help on the street? 2. No one in the U.S. says, "I'm not an American, I'm a Texan/Floridian/Californian/etc." Americans in general are overly patriotic no matter what state they're from. 3. The weather point just makes you guys sound like the ones offended. 4. Americans don't care if other countries don't know about historic dates or holidays in the U.S. Even Americans themselves don't always know the entire timeline of events of their own country. 5. So many Americans are vegetarians/vegans. The general consensus is as long as everyone doesn't try to dictate what other people eat, no one cares what your diet choices are. 6. Slang terms will sometimes clash with any country. Here in Australia, we call rubber sandals "thongs" while in America, they're called "flip-flops" because "thongs" over there are T-back underwear. And that waist bag they call a "fanny pack" is called a "bum bag" in the UK because "fanny" is slang for lady parts in British English, as you know. 7. The majority of Americans PREFER not to be interacted with by strangers, especially in the northeast. Some people like to strike up conversations, sure, but they have no problem backing off if you don't want to talk. 8. Americans don't find it offensive for non-Americans to emulate the American accent. They'll see through it, but again, none of them see it as a big deal. Are you sure you've actually met Americans?? This comes off as a rant video by two triggered Brits with wild points you've just completely made up about Americans. Signed, An Australian with American and Canadian family members

@@pinksoup8548 true, but most Americans today, in which is the subject of the video, are not of Anglo-Saxon or English descent. Hence, the comment about England being the "motherland" of English speaking Americans seems weird to me.

Also, we are, "very independent" because we aren't ruled by a Queen and Prime Minister and instead chose to have a government which values freedom and unalienable rights.
“Unalienable rights” 😂😂 yeah, right! Our “rights” are stripped from us on a regular basis and sometimes with those rights you speak of, get flipped around and twisted on a regular basis 😂
Where did you think the leaders of the Revolution got those ideas? Read the English Bill of Rights, the Scottish Petition of Rights, Magna Carta, and the Declaration of Arborath. I once did an exercise in class where we compared MC with the Declaration of Independence, and saw that just about everything Jefferson was accusing King George of doing was something that MC forbids English Kings from doing. Upholding MC is part of the Coronation Oath.
@@dylanwatkins978 The Americas was already discovered, we just wanted independence. Just like other countries such as India, Jamaica, Ireland, Scotland, and ECT...
Becca A it actually was a big deal for the British. They spent to much money on in and the country went into debt, which made them raise taxes and the trade Britain relied on for wealth was severely
Yeah, I agree with you on that. You do have the right. You, and people living in the deserts in Arizona and Nevada where it gets well into the 100's during the summer pretty much every day. People in deserts have the right to complain about how hot it is. And people in the the below freezing places where sometimes they don't see day for months have a right as well. I'm not sure it Anchorage has that problem with the daylight or not. The winters still suck there though.
I really love the perspective of America from people who take the time to make great comparisons. The best way to offend Americans is to hate them for no reason. So EVERYTHING you've done defeats the worst thing because you've thought thru some comparatives. I really enjoy your channel!

Only after we had subdued the French and the farmers didn't need our protection and refused to pay for it as taxes so you turned to Anarchy against our Crown. So you see our history tells a different story. Any way you got our language, politics, law and culture so you should be grateful. YOUR WELCOME.
Simon Powell the USA 🇺🇸, is the most powerful country on earth, both economically and militarily. But of course, we see the USA 🇺🇸 follow the foot step’s, of Britain 🇬🇧. The U.S. Military, still has it’s origin’s from the British military. I’m Russian, but I believe if the British where not the parent nation to the USA 🇺🇸, it would not be as powerful. The British, are Arguably the most successful in conquering land, defeating other nation’s etc.
The phrase “I can’t be bothered” really stuck in my craw the first few times I heard it. When you say “I can’t be bothered” to an american it feels very personal
Dinner at a US military base in the UK on the 4th of July where some Brits had been invited... The CO stood up and addressed the Brits - "You Brits don't know what the 4th of July means to us" - voice from the Brit table... "Yes we do! It was the last war that you won without our help!"

Almost all the points we're correct though, in general. I mean they were completely right. Americans are just stuck up their own ass more than most countries. There's nothing wrong with being patriotic, but Americans really take it to the extreme that they can't even take a joke.
Not offended- just had to laugh when Joel said “It’s our language! You took it!”... no darling, we didn’t take your language. You gladly brought it over when you “settled” here 😂
We inherited it just like they did. They crack me up when they claim to have invented it!
Even more so, English is a Germanic language, so it really isn't something they can claim
Allright wer going to america let's not talk to them because they won't understand so let's just not talk to them

You know... thank God for America. Britain has a Queen, but it’s not like she has any power. What’s the point? Brits think we are ungrateful to them (and we shouldn’t be grateful to them). But they should be grateful to us because after we claimed our independence they reduced the authority of the Queen in Britain, since they learned how unfair their system was. 🇺🇸
Tammy Seltzer It’s meant to be a joke. British humor is steeped in sarcasm and intellectual humor. As someone who lives in Boston, there’s actually allot about the revolutionary war that Americans are not taught or taught incorrectly. It was the wealthy slave owning land owners who were mostly opposed to British rule. You see GB abolished slavery which was going take affect in the American colonies. The wealthy tobacco plantation owners obviously didn’t like that idea; however, convincing the rest of the colonies to give up their British identity and all of the benefits that came with it, was going to be a tough sell. Being an American colonist had tremendous opportunity for upward mobility that was unattainable back in England due to a rigid social structure. The average American colonist could literally escape whatever social constraints they had back home and carve out a much more prosperous existence in the American colonies with the backing of the crown to protect them and purchase goods produced in the American colonies. The average colonist were actually devout loyalists. The whole “no taxation without representation” was propaganda derived by wealthy slave owners to convince the rest of the colonies to rise up against “British tyranny” so they can continue to own slaves.
I wonder at what point, will Britain realize that it was the United States, in BOTH World Wars, that saved them from complete occupation.
@@granthutchins2016 Or Russian, for that matter.
Americans didn't take the language, they brought the language with them.
Actually Americans in British originally sounded the same. Some time after the revolution the British actually fabricated their accent and dialect. Rich people actually paid people to teach it to them.
how did we bring the language Americans are born in america it was Brits who brought it
Bad Cattitude Exactly! Many coastal regions, and islands have accents that are pretty close to the original British accent that was brought over to the New World. I live in VA - east coast. Guinea near Gloucester, Va has for the most part retained their old accents. So we didn’t steal their language - it was ours as well, and we just didn’t evolve in the language with them.
Well, I’m Native American and we speak Cree. 🤷🏽♀️😘

Karen Wagner I agree with you.
Also here too rural areas people are way different than those in cities is it the same on that side off the pond? Sadly the average American could not afford to go to the UK as well so you likely meet our self entitled narreressist types a lot
@karen may it's just ironic though how US really is not all that different from the UK except plug in outlets are different and we are taxed differently but when you add them all up they likely come out to be the about same. And now days and times people can't really rebel against any government cause their might is to great it's why I suppose eventually at some point no one will really have the rights and freedoms we all take for granted now. It's just matter of when that new world order begins. How has the whole brexit ordeal effected things? I have heard for some it's good and others it's bad.
A follow up to the accent one, NEVER mock a southerners twang specifically, we tend to take a lot of offense to that 😂

A fairly large percentage of southerners seem to be quite thin-skinned. In my experience they are highly conscious of regionalism and critical of others outside of theirs, but love to claim victimhood over barely existing perceived slights when the truth is that the rest of the US really doesn't care that much about regions.
@@echt114 my simple theory...a culture of dueling (fist or pistols) produced a "polite" society. Certain things were not said so as not to induce a duel. So when those are mentioned now it is perceived as an insult.

I'd say the reason any American would be offended by trying to do American accents is because I've found british people tend to either do a heavily southern accent or a valley girl accent which are both seen as unintelligent. And the reason we can see right through them is bc it is extremely rare for anyone to actually have either of those accents, especially valley girl, and I gre up in Sothern Cali
I do agree with you. I do not have southern accent from my Mom nor northern accent from my Dad who came from Pennsylvania. I had been born and raised in Georgia. Most people will asked me what country I am from even though I had live in Georgia all my life.
Well written, JM. Thank you.
Rare to have a Southern accent? I beg to disagree. Considered uneducated? Only by Northerners who never had a classical education as they had in the South until the feds destroyed our education system and replaced it with propaganda and narrowed degrees meant only to earn a living.

4th of July: doesn’t have anything to do with me
4th of July: when America declares independence from who? Oh yahhhhhhh
but why do we need to learn about it when we dont celebrate it lol
@@GobsAlmightyVlogs Because it has to do with Britain? It's when the colonies declared their indepence. You'd think that British people would learn about it considering the fact that half of it has to do with them.
@@cakiepop2038 but we literally don't learn about America during the time we have compulsory history, we do UK and Europe and that's it. You really think they're just gonna go oh by the way 4 July 17 something America became independent ok now back to World War II
@@GobsAlmightyVlogs You should be learning about the colonies that your king made? You should at least know that America came from Britain. Because for some strange reason a lot of British people I speak to have almost no idea that there was a war or anything like that. And then British people have the nerve to call us ignorant. Imagine not knowing that you sent out the colonies for one of the largest nations in the world. Smh
@@cakiepop2038 we learn about the British empire, but some study American history during gcses which you choose to study so that's why im saying not all of us learn if because its taught after we decide to study history or not
So...when Brits are taught their own history do they not learn about that time long ago when the unbeatable British army was handed its first major defeat...you know, during the American Revolution for which we celebrate on the 4th of July???
Perhaps that bit of British history has been whitewashed or just outright glossed over. After all, why elaborate on your own colony's rebellion and the humiliation of losing it. Just theorizing here.
We don't learn anything about it, nor about slavery. We learn the Victorians and The Tudors, Reformation, WW1& WW2 and history of medicine. Irish history if you're lucky. It's pretty horrendous. We hardly learn about other countries at all at school. Nowt about Europe apart from the wars.
@@ellebelle2507most slave traders were British
I have an aunt from England and she had no clue lol. She said, "It's not my history!" Well then where did all these white folks come from and why does everyone speak English?
I think it’s so glossed over because of how much territory England has had as a whole. Of course they don’t own any of it now but they had territories on every single continent so looking back on americas separation now it doesn’t seem relevant enough to cover
@@ellebelle2507 What school did you go to because we got taught about slave trades in history at my old secondary lol
1: Order a steak well done.
2: Order a veggie steak.
3: Put Tofu in something.
4: Confuse San Francisco with civilization.
5: Defaming our Military.
Well done usually means the meat is bad, and the restaurant is trying to hide that fact.
Captain Autism Apparently you have been sheltered all your life and never go out to enjoy the woods and lakes and went actually camping as a child... You suck as downer for putting that out there... I’m literally shaking my drunk @$$ head at this comment... Super dumb...
My head starts boiled when I hear well-done steak. My roommate likes her well-done. There's a special place in hell for those people
@@darienford860 Well done steak is preferred and more common outside 🇺🇸. I read an article real reason high end restaurant chefs abhor well done steaks because premium and cheap meats get equalized and taste the same when cooked well done. Bottom line: it's all about money and about acting rich.
Well done steak tastes better than uncooked meat and everyone should eat it according to their taste buds preference instead of acting like a sheep to marching orders of cultural elites.

I found out that I offend a Brit by microwaving a quick cup of tea. 🤣

You don”t study “world” history in UK? The 4th of July is when we divorced you and we got 1/2, including the English language
I apologize in advance but. We all study world history differently. So the American revolutionary war in the rest of the world is called the Anglo-French War (1778-1783).
Peter Wolf what did they call the 3 years of conflict leading up to France joining the war? The shot that started it all occurred at Concord and Lexington in April of 1775. I’m not trying to be an ass I’m truly curious
Best analogy!!
I'm not offended when other countries don't know our history (a lot of Americans don't either) but I know a lot of the British history because I had excellent history classes. It's funny when people say they don't know American history because it's not their country considering it's a younger country with only a few big dates to remember. Learning world history and all of the dates was a pain in the ass having thousands of years to learn but I learned them.
Scary that the rest of the world calls our Revolution a war with the French when it was literally the British spanking heard around the world 😂😂😂
Weather: “I feel like Americans have to have it worse”. Uh, we have hurricanes, tornados, earth quakes, land slides, tropical storms, heat waves that can melt the skin off your face, floods, snow fall that takes weeks to dig out of, nor easters that can wipe out whole cities, but yeah, your couple inches of rain and that two day heat wave must be killer.

I usually love to listen to your channel and understand both sides because my mother was from London and my father was from North Carolina. I suppose the American part of me is rather offended at the fact that you won't talk to people in America who are speaking to you. We are genuinely friendly, kind, caring people (especially in the South) and I don't understand why you would turn your nose up at that and not speak. It just seems so hateful. When in Rome do as the Romans do! You might just meet some nice folks if you drop the unpleasant attitude.

There is a Starbucks on every street corner. Its literally just five minutes.
Juliette Nofziger depends on where you live. I live in Georgia and I have to travel 40 minutes to the nearest Starbucks. I drive 2 hours to get to the closest mall. So, in some places, they are correct in their assumption. lol

Not really. Not a big deal in the UK.
Indeed. It is the day we declared our independence from your country.
To be fair, we don't know what day they have to celebrate when they kicked our. . .Oh wait! They never did!
The British Empire was once so big it spanned the globe and comprised literally 1/5th of the world's population at the time. It also invaded every country except for 22. So from that standpoint losing 13 colonies out of hundreds really wouldn't have seemed like that big a deal.
Also the Brits only lost 13 out of their many North American colonies.
Specifically 5 of them refused to rebel and survive to this day (albeit as part of a federation but still within the British Commonwealth), they were: Quebec, Nova Scotia, Island of St. John, Newfoundland and Rupert's Land; aka Canada.
@@HuyLy94 However, the Brits lost the ONE colony with the most military and industrial might that, perhaps, the world has ever seen in the 20th and 21st centuries.
A former colony that came to their aid in both WWI and WWII with overwhelming amounts of men, material and armaments that ultimately turned the tide against the Axis powers.
How would a country, such as England, forget such an important date like the Fourth of July . . . ?

I have met some people from England whose English sounds so perfect. The pacing, perfect annunciation, etc. is so amazing it blows me away. I have also met those who had the Cockney or heavy Scottish accent, but that is more amusing.
But we are taught about British history in most schools.
And we are taught about brief little bits about American history in our schools. I don't know if it's a newer thing but I certainly learnt a little bit in GCSE history

That's cool
1. The standard Canadian accent is very similar to the standard American accent; what if it was a Canadian asking you for help on the street?
2. No one in the U.S. says, "I'm not an American, I'm a Texan/Floridian/Californian/etc." Americans in general are overly patriotic no matter what state they're from.
3. The weather point just makes you guys sound like the ones offended.
4. Americans don't care if other countries don't know about historic dates or holidays in the U.S. Even Americans themselves don't always know the entire timeline of events of their own country.
5. So many Americans are vegetarians/vegans. The general consensus is as long as everyone doesn't try to dictate what other people eat, no one cares what your diet choices are.
6. Slang terms will sometimes clash with any country. Here in Australia, we call rubber sandals "thongs" while in America, they're called "flip-flops" because "thongs" over there are T-back underwear. And that waist bag they call a "fanny pack" is called a "bum bag" in the UK because "fanny" is slang for lady parts in British English, as you know.
7. The majority of Americans PREFER not to be interacted with by strangers, especially in the northeast. Some people like to strike up conversations, sure, but they have no problem backing off if you don't want to talk.
8. Americans don't find it offensive for non-Americans to emulate the American accent. They'll see through it, but again, none of them see it as a big deal. Are you sure you've actually met Americans??
This comes off as a rant video by two triggered Brits with wild points you've just completely made up about Americans.

Julie Bird Yeah...it is 😐
“Unalienable rights” 😂😂 yeah, right! Our “rights” are stripped from us on a regular basis and sometimes with those rights you speak of, get flipped around and twisted on a regular basis 😂
Where did you think the leaders of the Revolution got those ideas? Read the English Bill of Rights, the Scottish Petition of Rights, Magna Carta, and the Declaration of Arborath.
I once did an exercise in class where we compared MC with the Declaration of Independence, and saw that just about everything Jefferson was accusing King George of doing was something that MC forbids English Kings from doing. Upholding MC is part of the Coronation Oath.
cchristine 18 to be fair, we used to have a government that valued freedom and unalienable rights
