      It's because Americans have a medieval siege mentality. Their 'stand your ground' laws are a direct result of how frightened they are. It's why people get killed for knocking on the front door or using a driveway during a 3 point turn. Thanks to US Ed. they know nothing beyond their own shores & are happy living in ignorance in a bubble. It's very sad.

    As a dude from the land of beer and cheese, I got a story for y’all. In 2018 a man broke into my home, murdered my roommate and stabbed me thirteen times necessitating surgery to repair my lung spleen and carotid artery. After the surgery my carotid threw a clot and I had a stroke. Now, I had insurance through Disability. This is quite fortunate, as the accrued hospital bill totaled roughly $130,000 USD. Had I not had insurance, or even if my insurance had had a clause stating they do not cover assaults or anything even vaguely like that, I would be legally responsible for that debt and through no fault of my own, be plunged into eternal poverty. To avoid this I could technically bring civil suit against my attacker, though this would require me to either argue my case myself, a situation I am somewhat more suited to than most, or hire a lawyer to argue my case out of pocket, something I could not have done. Imagine being the people who actively choose to make the system function like this.

    the "american english is older than uk english" comment is *almost* right, but not.
    according to experts, it is likely that the ACCENT of those speaking english in the uk was more similar to some modern american english accents than most uk english accents. This is because the smaller population and shorter distances in the uk allowed language and the ways of speaking to evolve faster than it did in america after its independance. (along with the merging of the other languages in places, such as Scots integrating in to english to make modern scots, im sure a similar thing has happened in wales)
    it should be noted though that while the accent may be more similar, many direct changes were made to many words which resulted in the biggest differences between american and british english. the dropping of the "U" from many words as an example. Many of these were made by the likes of Noah Webster (The "webster" from "Mirriam-Websters dictionary") in order to simplify the language. One change they made that didnt stick was the changing of the spelling of "Women" to "Wimmen". Any time americans refuse to admit that there are any other spellings of a word in english, insisting their spelling is correct and yours is wrong, bring that up, im sure itll go well with them. This also means that the American version of English is simply a modified version of British English, and only some american accents can be said to be older than some accents in britain today (but even their accents will be slightly different from the ones back then as their accents will have drifted away from it in all these years, and will have drifted in a different direction than the rest of the english speaking world)

      Went to my homeland of Romania one year on vacation, and ran into some other Americans who legitimately thought that people didn't have toilets at all because one old babushka they asked to use the toilet have an outhouse which some older folk in remote villages still use as a personal preference, but I was baffled when they said that because one old grandma didn't have a modern toilet, that somehow we all must live like that. Better yet there are poor villages in America that I've been to that don't even have running water , and people need to dig wells, which they that couple also said that we were backwards over there for. Like they do realize not all Americans have tap water over decent toilets right?

    Fun fact; The practice of jogging originated in New Zealand when an Olympic track coach, one Dr. Lydiard, suggested it as a conditioning activity for retired Olympic runners; Bowerman observed the activity there and was impressed.
    Nike is the one that popularized as an activity for the everyday person by having some doctor write a book about it. Just so they could sell more shoes, which they did.

      Not sure if that's true. There was a general exercise and fitness movement at the very end of 19th and start of 20th cen. that included both fast walking and what they called "light running" or jogging. Much of what we do now as fitness exercises is based on what was developed then. It is kind of hard to pinpoint what originated where, as these things quickly got around in likeminded circles globally. Eventually this rise in interest in physical fitness is what led to the modern Olympics.

      www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5897920/
      I copy pasted some paragraphs. It's an interesting read.
      Thinking about how jogging first emerged as a mass physical fitness practice in America - and how it was routinized as habit - is worthwhile for at least three reasons. First, while physical fitness practices have become ubiquitous within the contemporary urban environment, we know surprisingly little about how these practices came to be so embedded.2 It is easy to forget that as simple a practice as jogging had to be invented. In the post WWII decades it was rare for American men or women over the age of 30 - outside of work - to partake in any physical activity more strenuous than yard work, bowling, golf, or light calisthenics.3 Why did millions of such people suddenly take up vigorous exercise? And why jogging?
      -----
      On 1 November 1961, Seymour Lieberman, an attorney at law, sat down at his desk in Houston, Texas and composed a letter to William Bowerman, Professor of Physical Education and University of Oregon track and field coach. In his letter he asked Bowerman to endorse the regime for heart and bodily fitness that Lieberman had developed.
      From wikipedia.
      In the United States jogging was called "roadwork" when athletes in training, such as boxers, customarily ran several miles each day as part of their conditioning. In New Zealand during the 1960s or 1970s, the word "roadwork" was mostly supplanted by the word "jogging", promoted by coach Arthur Lydiard, who is credited with popularizing jogging.
      The idea of jogging as an organized activity was mooted in a sports page article in The New Zealand Herald in February 1962, which told of a group of former athletes and fitness enthusiasts who would meet once a week to run for "fitness and sociability". Since they would be jogging, the newspaper suggested that the club "may be called the Auckland Joggers' Club"-which is thought to be the first use of the noun "jogger".
      University of Oregon track coach Bill Bowerman, after jogging with Lydiard in New Zealand in 1962, started a joggers' club in Eugene in early 1963. He published the book Jogging in 1966, popularizing jogging in the United States.

She got all pissed and angry so I told her , in slightly more polite terms, to go fuck herself. This was in a part of America where the majority of the people are descended from immigrants from eastern europe ir are immigrants from there. So hearing , Romanian, Czech, Russian, or Polish wasn't that unusual in the cities, but she threw a hissy fit over it. Mind you that there's literally a polish market , a Russian restaurant, and an import store run by a

      I AM a linguist and I've heard that too! Although in more casual settings.
      The US spellings are mostly intentionally different and invented by the same generation that broke away from the British. The pronunciation in the US resembles (or used to resemble) what was common in England (outside of London) at the time, about 100 years later the standardized English in the southern British isles became RP.
      So if by British English you mean RP this is true.
      However for every day British English - both developed in parallel out of the same dialects (which is what happens with most languages - this is how we got French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, which were all originally local dialects of Latin spread by the Roman Empire).

    Another fun fact: the "American Revolutionary tune" Yankee Doodle traces back to a musical comedy of the London stage, _The Disappointment,_ in 1763. Apparently it was the hit song in a comedy about those quaint Colonials.
    And it appealed to the Colonials' sense of humor too... though perhaps what really catapulted it to stardom was you could play it as a peppy march to effect on just one 18th-c. fife. So any company of soldiers could do it.

      Ohhh but I know the meaning of the lyrics though - that's the best part! 'Yankee' was originally an insult against the colonials, 'doodle' was an idiot and 'dandy' was a himbo. So "Yankee doodle dandy" means " 'murican idiot himbo ". The song says he stuck a feather in his cap (which was considered tacky at the time) and called it macaroni - the phrase "macaroni" was a reference to Italy and Italian style was popular in the US at one point so it just meant "cool" - kind of like how people use "Gucci" today. So the song is basically:
      'murican idiot. 'murican idiot himbo. Put a 'G' on his belt and called it Gucci!
