American news being a series of opinion pieces is bizarre.
Maybe. It will still be regulated.Don't you worry, we have all that to look forward to.
In Spanish you definitely use singular for a group, unless the name is plural, but I think both are acceptable.Would you say "ABBA is great"? I get that it's correct, but it would and could NEVER pass my lips
And not just because to me ABBA's music is mainly for aunties to dance to at weddings
Maybe. It will still be regulated.
Oh what? Oh no.By future Ofcom head, Paul Dacre of the STOP FUCKING HATE

I'm gonna get grilled for this, but after living with lots of kiwis and Brits for decades, I do find Americans generally 'warmer'. I've found them to be more open and more willing to spark conversations. Which can be just as annoying obviously.
It’s true, but there’s also a hell of a lot of insincerity in it. When you meet a lovely European at least you know it’s genuine.Whenever I’m abroad, I find Americans (and Canadians) to be so much easier and nicer to communicate with than most Europeans.
I have looked it up and it varies depending on the ingredient. Actual INSANITY. I always make sure to type the word 'uk' if I'm ever googling a recipe.
NOT to bash the place and especially not our treasured friends but there was a recent trend on TikTok where people were sharing some things that Americans had said to them, and there was one where a couple were in Marrakesh at the start of July and were asking people in the hostel they were staying in if they were all going to go onto the roof to watch the fireworks, and just couldn't compute that there wouldn't be any

I suspect Americans tend to use their vocabulary more. There's something in the Irish (and maybe British?) sensibility I think where you don't want to sound like a twat for using big words, whereas my American friends are really well-spoken. It could just be my friends, but I think it's a thing... anyone?
Generally speaking they're VERY loud as well

One cultural difference I've always assumed from US media is that celebrities always seem to be thanking God and talking about how #blessed they are.
It always felt a bit alien growing up, as even the Christians I knew didn't seem to talk about their faith at all.
It's pretty bad, but at least we don't generally get the "GOD MADE YOU TO CREATE LIFE" bollocks.What's Parent Prejudice like in UK/Ireland/Europe?
Calling jam jelly.
It doesn't even WIBBLE WOBBLE.
Jelly is cheap shit I buy at the grocery store
Jam is the same thing but fancy and from a nice brand or the farmers market
Ooh ooh. If you live in a block of flats you have a laundry room, right? And you have to reserve your slot to use it or something?!
On the other hand, I gather you think we're weird for keeping our washing machines in the kitchen.

Garbage chutes too! I did ONCE live in a block that had those, but we were ground floor so didn't get to use themLaundry chutes seem VERY WEIRD TO ME.
London has Fallen is one of the worst films I've ever seen and the best example of this.Americans saving the world in every action movie.
