There is a popular misconception that certain things were invented by our American cousins when in fact they WERE NOT!

I don't care what nation things were invented in, per se.

However, I am an American and I am NOT your cousin. Do you think the people living in every nation with which Britain has had a colonial relationship are Englishmen's "cousins"?

Or did you really mean to specify inventions by people of American nationality that are your and an unspecified 1st person plural's cousins?
