US fighter production. Feasibility to scale up?

Yeah but the country that says it wrong also drives on the wrong side of the road.

We English were driving on roads long before we invented your country.

Gotta love them Romans.

Our country was invented long before the Romans by the native people here we called Indians.

And NOW, Back to the topic.

And they were driving their Pontiacs on the right.

You did not invent our country. The people who got sick and tired of your country and then whooped your ass invented our country. So there! Take that biscuit and pie and…

And NOW, Back to the topic.

Yes, thank you. Will the British please stop making a mockery of themselves so we can get on with the topic?

 

[SaparotRob]

The issue is this.
America was a British colony with British people.
They spoke English and had British laws and religion and British customs.

I live in the part of North America that once belonged to the Empire of Spain, established in the late 1600's...

 

[The Basket]

New Amsterdam was captured by my English ancestors.

Spain did hold some of the modern USA. How did that work out for them?

What language is the American constitution written in?

Why not Japanese? Or Spanish? Or French? If you answer that question then you will find out why.

Some British regional accents almost need translation.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Ok everyone, back on topic.

Especially since some here seem to be taking this discussion way too seriously.

 

[elbmc1969]

Some British regional accents almost need translation.

What do you mean "almost"? I was watching an old BBC news/interview/documentary piece where they were talking to Yorkshire farmers. It was subtitled for the audience in the U.K.

Of course, on my first day in Boston I stood staring stupidly at the woman behind a lunch counter as she repeatedly asked me the same question in growing frustration, until the guy behind me leaned over and translated ...
