I find the term "Murkan" insulting and antagonistic.

1. it (potentially) alludes to the way George W. Bush pronounces the word American.

2. it (potentially) alludes to the term meaning pubic wig.

Neither very flattering, eh?

I really wish Diane wouldn't put her attitude towards Americans on show, because it detracts from her arguments and puts people off gleaning the really useful stuff she posts here.
