Actually, no. I just don't share most American's taste for childish attacks towards people that don't fit nicely into their ethnocentric worldview.
I never even met most American. How'd he (or she) get that title?
I've a sneaking suspicion that your comment is referring to grammar, perhaps a misplaced apostrophe. If so, I'll ignore it as a waste of time.
You're right, you wasted a lot of extra time sticking that extra apostrophe in there 
Quote: But I did make a gross generalization there. Please allow me to correct it to "most Americans that I personally have known". And given that I grew up in America, I consider it a decent representative sample.
Yeah, see, the generalization didn't bother me, that damn apostrophe, though...

I'm gonna have to stand my ground on this one, with the slight modification to "try to corner the market". I have never met another nationality that can be so proud of ignorant, imperialistic attitudes.
Not us. We don't even use imperial gallons, we made our own
