Hmmm. Well, we've only had a bit over 200 years to develop all those sorts of distinctions, so I guess my assumptions were showing. Y'all have a big head start on us. Now, if we could just keep those daft Iowegians off our roads in Illinois... although the ones who learned to drive in Illinois but are currently living in Iowa yet working in Illinois... ...never mind, it's too complicated...

...and your Bio says Scotland but you're living in England, so - wait! I've got it! Don't drive in Illinois, OK? You folks drive on the wrong side of the road. Probably had Iowa driving instructors imported to the UK of GB. There, I've got it all sorted out now.

...and if you had ever met an American who intensely feels he's a "Scot" by virtue of ancestry, you would have REALLY understand my initial confusion!
