You should look up "aluminum" in Webster's American Dictionary.
Why? Its an english word....
They pronounce it "aluminium" with an "i" instead of "aluminum" without the "i". It's just silliness is all. I kinda like the fact that things are so different. If everything were the same we'd all be as boring as the British (kidding!).  There are those who view things as being proper and those who view proper things as having lack of imagination. Different strokes for different folks.
Still, English humor is the greatest in the world. No contest. Nothing's funnier than a sharp, subtle, biting wit. The thing I've always liked about the English was that they could take it as well as dish it out, and they tend to dish it out liberally. They don't have the same sensibilities as Americans and tend to speak ill of their best friends just as much as they would of someone they didn't like, which makes it all the more funny.

You English are just lucky that your government does everything we tell them to, otherwise we would have a problem.

There's another thing that Americans have to stop doing: saying they're English/Scottish/Irish/Welsh. No, you're not...you're American. Just because 500 years ago two people f*cked doesn't mean you resemble or possess any trait remotely identifiable with the aforementioned countries. Same goes for people saying they're Italian...knock that sh!t off. If you don't speak the language, don't know anything about the culture, and don't have living, close blood relatives living there, you're still just American.
I'm American, but I live in Italy. I also speak Italian, but I don't go around telling people I'm Italian. And for the record, Italian spoken in the US is about as close to the Italian language as a f*cking dog barking. Knock it off, dammit.
Don't be a douche. The unique thing about being American is that everyone is descending from immigrants and everyone is proud of that fact. My family on both sides are Irish Protestant. Of course we're Americans now - duh - you barking tribble humper. There's even a smattering of Native American in there. Our family came from Belfast (my father's anyway, not sure where my mother's did, but probably same since we've never in many generations been catholic.
SO:
Douchebags on both sides of this argument aside: I realize most of this thread is nothing more than badly written trolls, based on the OP's play out email forward letter from several years ago. But would EU / UK players really be nasty to us Americans should we all meet up for a beer or 6? Really? I don't think that would be the case. Historically, the Brits have been our strongest allies - more capable of putting up with our **** than other nationalities and lets face it: Americans are *******s and annoying to be around.
Almost as bad as the French. Now there's a rude bunch of people if I ever saw them. I was in Dublin for my birthday a couple years ago. All the nice foreigners (i.e. me and others) were queued up waiting for the next bus into the city. Here comes a herd of Frenchmen. mobbing in front of us, storming the bus, and cursing in french - not to mention talking **** about everyone else on the bus in french because they probably thought nobody else spoke their language. 
The old Irishman sitting next to us told us they're always like that, very very rude.
SO - I blame Canada *AND* the France.
Coming from immigrant ancestors isn't the same as coming from immigrant grandparents...I'm sure you realize this. The only douches are the Americans who come to a foreign country without having bothered to learn the language, customs, or culture, and then go around telling people they're Irish/Italian/Scot/Russian/German etc.
The French are *******s but they're *******s with each other too...that's something Americans just can't seem to grasp. It's not like they're targeting you; they're just ego-centric d!cks who can't properly use deodorant and who hate everything around them. They're like nihilists. They hate everyone, even themselves. Americans should just get over it already.
Or punch them in the face. Whichever works best for you.

To be fair though we also have Essex, which instantly ranks us near the bottom as far as nations go.

The hippie culture is something I don't necessarily dislike but it's not for me...the only reason I bring it up is that it's so prominent there. There just doesn't seem to be enough friction or challenge in order to have a reason to get up in the morning. Even though it's probably statistically the best place on earth in which to live, I could never live there and not get bored. Kind of a "too much of a good thing" I guess.
As for Australian people, I've literally never met one I didn't like.

Nothing against the Australians themselves, but your government. I mean, really how childish are those attorney-generals of yours, they ban more games than China almost for crying out loud.
They really take that stuff to far.

God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen:
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the Queen.
O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall.
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all.
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen
That is all.

My problem with Australia is that they are sucking up the good parts of Britian too quickly, I haven't finished my degree and cant emigarte will my Masters course is completed.... or would our future Australian overlords (over the motherland Brittania at least when they have a bigger population) prefer me to have a Doctorate in Civil Engineering of some kind.
That said, any reccomendations for Aussie universities?

Australia - Prosperous English speaking country that is forward looking, ambitious and not bogged down with historical baggage and remanants of an archaic class system.
Sounds like what Britain should have turned into but did'nt after WW2.

Australia seems a nice place but the only problem is the hundreds of deadly poisonous bugs and snakes and slimy things in the sea, ffs even the jelly fish will kill you.

The American format is MM/DD/YY(YY)
WHY THOUGH? it's so stupid.
No, it's not stupid. We don't say, "The tenth of May", we say "May tenth" or "May the tenth".
YYYY/MM/DD or DD/MM/YYYY makes sense.
MM/DD/YYYY makes no sense, unless you want to pick the most counter-intuitive format possible intentionally to mess with everybody else.
In fact, YYYY/MM/DD makes the most sense, yet almost nobody uses it, so I guess everybody is stupid.
And yes, I do say "the tenth of May" far more often than "May tenth".
P.S. It's like asking for the time.
MM/DD/YYYY is like saying "it's the 31st minute and we're 19 seconds in, from the 15th hour"
DD/MM/YYYY is like saying "it's 19 seconds past 31 minutes past 15 hours"
YYYY/MM/DD is like saying "it's 15:31:19"
The last one makes the most sense.
i like to use yyyymmdd tbh lol just cos that way all my computer files are in a nice order
