nope. I just have a problem with people who use the plural maiestatis. I never say "we" or "us" when referring to topics like that one.

I knew you wouldn't get it. Irony is a stylistic device which is obviously totally unknown in the US.

see above. Btw one word: "Superstrat". If you know a bit about the Middle English period you'll know what I mean - The English peeps didn't like it all. Nowadays the same thing happens again - in a different way. Europeans don't like that. Language determines the way you think. Compared with languages like French, Italian, German, etc American English is fuckin simple.

I like certain artists. That doesn't necessarily mean that I like American culture in general. Logics.

lol. That's just why the first synthi artists came from Europe..
