Even when they speak English, they think British English sounds more correct and beautiful, while American English … that’s a mistake …
However, apart from the little pride in accent, the British think they are much better than the Americans. Let’s see how narcissistic these British people are on Reddit.
English
British netizens said that we British people are the most realistic, and the words used when we speak are very appropriate.
Look at this hamburger. Americans like to call it hamburger, which is not kind. Excuse me, where is ham?
A Burger without ham. Why do you Americans call it hamburger?
Or we British are sincere, we just call it Beef Burger, beef burgers are made of beef, and fresh ingredients can be seen!
If you don’t call food well, you can’t even call sports well.
Football is obviously kicked with the feet, so we British people call it football. Do you know how to play it at a glance?
But what is your American football? -football! I still play with my hands, which … is a magical logic …
When we really call football, Americans come up with a soccer. Why do you think this is necessary?
It’s better to call it English. football is football and rugby is Rugby.
humanize
Americans’ life is not as detailed as ours in Britain, which can be seen from a small socket.
American sockets look like this. Apart from being cute and cute, there is nothing special about them.
But we British people are different. The British people are striving for perfection in the socket. In order to better ensure the safety of electricity use, we have specially installed a separate switch in the socket.
You can turn off this switch when you are not using the socket. Is it safe and energy-saving?
Let’s talk about this date again. In many Asian countries, people use year, month and day, which are expressed in descending order, such as 2019/03/22.
Although we don’t express it this way in Britain, we express it in order from small to large, day, month, year, 22/03/2019.
At this point, Americans are wonderful again, and they have to make the date format of next month, day and year. March 22, 2019 has to be written as 03/22/2019.
American friends, you are really fighting to be different, which is easy to cause misunderstanding in the international community, you know?
health
Although Europeans and Americans are fatter than Asians, Americans don’t seem to care about their bodies at all.
I’m too fat to get on the plane, and I have to keep eating …
At this point, we British people are doing very well. Although we are fat, we are trying to find a way. In order to help people reduce their calorie intake, we will start to levy suger tax and increase taxes on diets with high sugar content, such as Coca-Cola.
The price is expensive. If you don’t buy it, you can always reduce obesity.
Of course, weight loss should also start with dolls. In February this year, fast food advertisements were banned in public places such as buses, subways and taxis in London, England.
And what about your American children? Still feasting on this junk food.
holiday
I heard that you Americans have 20 days of paid vacation a year, right? Do you think it’s a lot?
As a cultured British, we only put data and don’t comment.
In Britain, we have 28 days of paid annual leave every year. Oh, yes, that’s not counting maternity leave and sick leave.
Okay, we’re done.
Well … this show off … many domestic friends are envious! ! ! Not to mention 28 days in Britain, American holidays are very enviable! !
humanistic connotation
Let’s talk about something meaningful. We British people are very good at building castles.
Windsor Castle
Edinburgh Castle
stirling castle
Not to mention the atmosphere and beauty, there are countless historical stories and legends hidden here.
Look at America again. Do you have such a magnificent castle? Disney Castle? ?
In addition to castles, there are many great writers in English culture. In the long run, we have Shakespeare, Dickens and Bernard Shaw …
Closer to home, you know all about Harry Potter, and J·K· Rowling is no stranger.
Each one carries considerable weight, but the United States is a country with a relatively short history after all, and it is certainly not as good as our Britain in the accumulation of cultural heritage.
safe
Of course, the most important thing is that we British people are definitely doing much better than Americans in gun control!
Look at the news in the United States. The shooting here today and the shooting there tomorrow make people panic.
In Britain, our control over guns is very strict. Not every casual resident can buy a gun and keep it at home.
Moreover, we not only control guns, but also control knives. It is forbidden for teenagers under 18 to buy knives.
Therefore, our public security environment is more reassuring than that of the American imperialists.
Ok, ok, netizens in Britain, you are gone with the wind again … Do you agree with this kind of anxiety of the people of the corrupt country?
