Seeing USAmericans writing British characters speaking in US terms pisses me off.
Tfw you're so imperialist you don't even have to learn about any other colonizers. We had to spend 150 years and counting being acculturated into the society of the preceding biggest asshole just so it would treat us like real people, but these upstarts it spawned don't even have to get its basic lingo right. Y'all grew up on the biggest children's franchise of all time that's literally steeped in British culture (however embarrassing its author is now) but still learned nothing because your media pandered to your xenophobia so much that you never needed to encounter anything new. The imperial privilege is infuriating.
And when you end up pig ignorant, y'all blame your school system for not spoon feeding you enough. Jesus wept. Over a hundred countries learned to say "shops", "go and", "angry", "lift" and "pavement" at the point of a whip, it can't be this hard for you to remember to use them and the metric system occasionally.
