Why the **** anyone eats biscuits and gravy? They are simply the most disgusting thing I've every had, I have seen more appetizing vomit. My second question would be whether they would be willing to ship me a vast quantity of that delightful trader joe's maple syrup flavored cereal :colone:

Honestly, some think that English ppl are actually really interesting i guess it determines on the person, others like to imitate the accent though and try to hold conversations with the accent among friends lolz, personally I prefer my husband to be British than American LoLz:smile:

What's it like to live in a country that promotes equality and freedom, having abolished all forms of racism?
Why American's call ground floor first floor when ground floor is on the ground?

PLUS! Is the high school really hierarchical and bad as portrayed in literature (with popular jocks and cheerleaders and whatnot)?

Living here actually is nice and all with equality and stuff but some people still make racist comments jokingly. But others actually mean it to hurt people ex:some southerners.

Um actually i have no idea that is so true the ground floor is the ground floor! Lolz and yes it is as bad if your kind of like an outcast i guess. But me i cant really see that because i am on Varsity dance team and play volleyball and football so yeah but for others it is a bad experience. but i make friends when others dont want to be their friend... ya know :smile:

Definitely not. Maybe in some public(state)schools but things are extremely over exaggerated.

Okay yes it's the first floor of the building but it's on the ground so you call it a ground floor.

And no, it's called a basement, and sometimes cellar...

That would be fine if you then called the next floor up the 2nd but apparently it's the 1st. :s-smilie:

That's because it is above and after the ground so obviously it will be called the first floor. :K:
