They really ca n’t stand when we microwave pee .
There was some drama between the US and UK last week!
An American professorsuggestedadding a pinch of salt to a cup of tea, and Brits lost their minds.
People were pissed.
The US Embassy even had to issue a statement condemning the recipe.
An important statement on the in style Camellia sinensis controversy . 🇺 🇸 🇬 🇧 pic.twitter.com/HZFfSCl9sD
They said, “We want to ensure the good people of the UK that the unthinkable notion of adding salt to Britain’s national drink is not official United States policy. And never will be.”
Because I love a good “US vs. UK” moment, here are some American things that confuse the hell out of British people.
1.When Americans say what grade they are in to describe how old they are.
Why do Americans answer " How old were you ? " With a grade …. I’m British first mate . Just say your blinking age
2.Beans on toast.
quick question from a brit , why do americans detest beans on toast so much ? ? ? ? ? that bull is DELICIOUS

4.The way Americans heat up water in microwaves.

5.The national anthem.
why do American English always sing their internal anthem i do n’t think i ve ever hear the British one
6.The fact that Americans call it “math” instead of “maths.”
Why do Americans abbreviate “ math ” to “ mathematics ” , but for the British it ’s “ maths ” ?
7.When Americans say, “Wanna grab a coffee?”
Why do americans say " wanna grab a coffee tree " so often ? As a Brit should I say " wanna grab a loving cup of tea " ?

You wo n’t beware if I make sport of Americans right ? Gas ! They call a liquid accelerator ! ( Though I ’m pretty sure us britt are the only I to not call it gas )

12.Summer camp.
Do Americans still send kid away to inner circle for the summer ? Why do n’t we Brits do this ? 😂
13.The fact that Americans wear things that say “London” and “Oxford,” and Brits wear things that say “New York” and “Chicago.”
Why do Americans wear sweatshirts that say London or Oxford and us Brits wear ones that say New York or Chicago etc ? Something I do but will never understand 🤔
14.Halloween.

28.The way Americans tell non-Americans what specific state they’re from, as if the non-American has any idea where that is.
why do americans say what specific DoS they ’re from like i do n’t be intimate every state … what if british people depart saying what city they were from we should confound the americans back
29.“Lovers' lanes.”
why do americans have " lover ' lane " while us brits just have " dogging sites " ?
30.“On line” vs. “In line.”
Why do Americans remain firm “ on ” line when Brits would stand “ in ” business ?
