British subtext: Half of Americans wouldn’t be able to tell that a Briton is calling them an idiot t.co/TiAnBhBmUK

@kerim On the other hand, I think very few Americans understand exaclty how aggressive and creepy the American use of the verb ‘share’ can be. When someone says “Thank you for sharing that” it sounds hypocritical and dismissive, and when they say “I'd just like to share” I wish I could dive into the nearest bunker for safety.
