"The UK is a younger country than the US (dating only to 1800) and there is, right now, a serious political movement with mass support and a good chance of disuniting it. Nothing like that in the US."

Horseshit limey technicality. Since Henry and Liz, at least, the country has been England and what can control. That is just as stupid as call Wales and Scotland countries today.

"The UK also has 8 different mutually incomprehensible indigenous languages."

This country has dozens of indigenous languages, probably hundreds. Do you think that a Cherokee understands Navaho? I'd be surprised if there weren't 8 in Alaska alone. Then there are Hawaiian languages, Cajun french, African American dialects.


The only languages the US has that predate 1776 are the Native American languages and Spanish, and two English dialects (Gullah and everything else). Both countries have the same range of immigrant languages (which is why my partner keeps a Somali dictionary beside the phone).

French predates 1776, New York was New Amsterdam. Which did they speak when they settled? English, Spanish or Gullah?

There are separatists here. And a UK breakup only makes sense for the smaller entities in the context of the EU.

"Hire a friggin fact checker before posting next time."

Yes, Do that!

Jack!

I figure were kidding and just ranting for the fun of it. Me too!!
