@kibi true, but so are cars
@kibi we have those, they're called helicopters
@troubleMoney Americans have the same misconceptions about Canadians. They think we are polite and fail to parse the nuances of "sorry"
CAN: Sorry
US: Sorry
CAN: Sorry
US: Excuse me, you bumped into me/spilled my coffee/cut in line
CAN: Sorry
US: I'm about to take the last cookie and I'm not sorry at all
CAN: Sorry
US: MOVE, BITCH, GET OUT THE WAY, GET OUT THE WAY BITCH, GET OUT THE WAY

Considering my previous toot about English-American translations went absolutely woolly, here's some more:
British: "I hear what you say"
American: "You're wrong, shut up"
British: "With the greatest respect..."
American: "You're a fucking idiot"
British: "That's a very brave proposal"
American: "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING YOU LUNATIC"
British: "I would suggest..."
American: "You will do this or be sanctioned"
It's the end of the month, which means patreon plugging time!
