Guess that's about right, apparently 1 in 10 people have it in America
You won't, go ahead, what do you think haha
stereotypesotypes:
1- eat a lot
2- see guns as something minor
3- some love taking the mick of Trump (who doesn't lol)
4-Have candies that aren't available in the UK
5 -most Have a very strong accent
6 - have some very stupid ppl (which shouldn't exist, cause normally your intelligence doesn't matter on the country your in)

Stereotypes i believe:
2, 3, 4, 5
They say y'all a lot. :indiff:

Ok I believe the those are just about right, I always find it weird when someone in the UK mentions American accents, I don't think of myself with an accent haha
