MFW the colonials butcher your language with the use of "Britishers" when "The British" or "Brits" are perfectly acceptable.
Aww, the britishian hasn't had their slow tea yet.
It's ok, once it's brewed I'll sip it and watch you do some target practice at your local school or mall.
I make fun of your tea and you bring up mass shootings.
I'd say you're salty but we both know you don't season your food.
Yes I do because they both occur at about the same frequency. I don't think I've ever seen the US section of BBC news without at least one mass shooting story per day, you guys really should do something about that.
Perhaps more guns will solve the problem, like how in your cuisine adding "cheese" or Ranch Dressing counts as adding flavour.
Who needs guns? That other person made the Michigan joke so you're already dead.
You're just mad because you used to own the world and have now been reduced to a country the size of fucking Michigan.
I'm not mad just having some banter, it's funny how easily for the Americans it goes from having a laugh to hurt feelings.
Speaking of empire, be sure to enjoy yours whilst it lasts, and good luck with your second civil war.
You've never heard "lol you're just mad..."? You new on the internet? I'm also just fucking with you dingus.
"Empire?" We have no such empire, we have a country and for some reason we call PR and Guam territories iirc but that's it, and idk why we do even that we could stop any time as far as I'm concerned. The other countries we have bases in are all sovereign, unless I missed one, and even then idt we control Guam and PR the way y'all did India.
2nd civil war may happen, but at least we can do it. If a cult of personality takes your country over what're you gonna do about it throw crumpets at him?
Sorry I thought you were being literal with the "mad" it's hard to infer tone over text.
Yes you because the domination of the British empire was leveraged through the pound-sterling being the world reserve currency. Now it's the US dollar and, when it comes to the energy, the petro-dollar. Not to mention that the US securities markets are favoured over UK or European ones.
And no, we throw milkshakes.
Introduce the Americans to buckfast tonic wine aka "wreck the hoose juice". I bet it pairs well with firearms.
relevent.
If you didn't want us butchering the language, you should have tried harder in the war.
Well now you butcher the language and your fellow countrymen. I'd say you learnt everything we had to teach you, aside from how to spell properly.
Look at this lil brish crybaby.
Britisher used to be fairly popular back in the day. Yanks are usually behind everything so it makes sense they'd still be using it
Sorry mate, American English is more logical. Let them have that at least. I still prefer spoken British English though.
