A warm welcome candygirl16, as SteveD says, its primarily a UK site, but we do have other Americans come on here regularly, Clanad, Stu in the usa, and others, plus occasionally, Sweden, Brazil, Australia, S.Africa, ond others, the diversity helps make this site the world beater it is.
Welcome, but be prepared for a lot of anti American rants from the lefties, your president GWB is a particular favourite, they are generally Brits but they pretty much hate Britain too so don't take it personally. I am probably the only fan of GWB, anyone who can get the beardy weirdies spitting out their organic muesli like George has go to be a great bloke.
I don't agree SHEHE, I've seen many Brits writing loads of wrong things, so I think it doesn't depend on nationality, but on the education level of who is writing. As for candygirl she seems to be very young and doesn't seem to see details like the co.uk at the website, so it's natural that she will make these kind of questions....
Lonnie thanks for mentioning Brazil amongst the countries who are present here, I wonder if there is any other Brazilian apart of me? Although I am living in the UK since 2003....
I'm from Canada, originally a Londoner. Isn't it obvious it's an English site, who else would be so witty and use weird expressions.
SteveD, great Italian translations. Anche io so la lingua italiana. Ciao! Rosa
