I was around London today and normally i see alot of tourists which i think its great.
But today a very funny thing happened two very nice American couple came to me and we engaged into a conversation then all of a suddern they asked me how long have us Brits been speaking English and they actually asked me what are origianl native Language is.

And i thaught WTF it took me actually 10 minutes to Explain to them that English was first started out in England.

Did you know they also think we eat crumpits and stuff.


I am not saying all American Tourists are like that some are very clever and smart but sometimes you get the wired ones

P.S SOme still think that the Queen still has power to rule

OMG!! You just should have laughed at them...

Then explained the situation!

lol yeah i almost did i was actually in shock for a couple of seconds.
It really made my day i am still laughing about it lol

Seriously, some Americans are so dumb it's pathetic. Many Americans actually believe English is the native tounge of America!

Americans like that give others the bad name

Some also believe that pizza originates from America!

you guys in england don't eat crumpets?

umm arent i am right in thinking that the Founding Fathers of America were actually form England. WHich does mean that English is Americas native lanugage

Spanish were first!

Then ''Virginia'' is where English people setteled in America...its called Virginia because it was in time of Elisabeth I..who was a virgin queen!

Virgin queen, yeah right!

No, becuase the natives of the contintent on which America exists were tribes called Cherokee, Ohlone, etc. etc. They are known as Native Americans and Indians. I won't laugh. I guess many Europeans still think that they were the first to settle in America.

Nobody thinks that! Well some English people might...but everyone knows that Native Indians lived in America...Spanish and English just made colonies there, killed them off and setteled there...

The Spanish were the first so set sail and find America for themselves, but many languages existed there before they arrived. Hence, the native language was not Spanish either.

i did know that Native Indians were the first settlers. i just thaught that u ment when was english first spoken #

soz very confusing

ppl think kiwis r alot like the brits, and we sought'a r

Point taken, Lils. I was just checking.
