'Murican, Abroad Y'all

"I think it's really funny that you say I have a British accent."

"Why?  Don't you?"

"No!  I have an English accent!  When you talk about Britain you mean the entire island!"

"Oh!  But . . . Oh.  We don't think like that.  We speak English."

"Sort of . . . But not English."

"What!? Well, then, what do we speak?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"... y'all."

"Was that an American accent?  All you said was 'y'all'."

"Well, I'm, like, totally going to go to the mall later, and then, like, I'm going to call Becky, and we are, like, toooootally going to go shopping because, like,  this place is so whack."

This, my friends, is cultural exchange.
