the British sometimes have trouble understanding North American colloquialisms. and North Americans don’t understand British sense of humour. Calm down Maggie, you’re getting upset over nothing.

Do the Brits use the word "gross" or "repulsive" when something or someone nauseates them? In North America they think words like, "Gosh, what a creeper." Is that understood in Britain?

Ah Ok Maggie. No problem. I'm just irritated about the updates, missing books, and no communication on Lulu support. Not to mention the Ninja killing and raping in the Congo Yeah, pretty stressful on both counts.

I'm counting calmly how many times you've tried to bully or humiliate so far. It's fascinating. When you reach ten I'm going to have to report you to the moderators.

Truthfully, I think many Americans do pretty well with British humor. The Brits definitely make the best Rock n' Roll in the world. No doubt about it. There are definitely many unique cultural differences and experiences among any people group which enable that sub-surface communication through humor. That can't be denied. This reminds me of a biography of Werner von Braun I read decades ago. At the time of the fall of the Third Reich, He (or another of the German rocket scientists) were asked why they chose to surrender to the Americans. He replied, "We knew the Russians would kill us, and we couldn't understand British humor, so we surrendered to the Americans."

I’ve bent over backwards trying to be nice and kind to you. Now you’re just being silly.

I’ve bent over backwards trying to be nice and kind to you. Now you’re just being silly. The object pronoun "me" is nowhere in my paragraph. The word "silly" is derogatory. It is used to describe little girls. It is intended to demean, belittle and to humble. In other words, humiliate. Please don't address me anymore. Your bending over backwards kindness I do not enjoy. But thank you anyway.
