I guess most people on this UK-US based website (on the whole) are going to have similar views. Elsewhere people might view the UK much more harshly. Hopefully most human beings can differentiate between the UK state and the everyday folk. There is a difference - even though the state is only made of people - funny that.

Yes.

Besides the 0.1 percent hot and 2 percent ok.. The other 97.9 percent of your women are the ugliest in the world... I blame the lack of sunlight for that..

6. Given that 'pommes frites' translates as apple fries when seperated I think chips is a more meaningful word (as the chips are chipped from the whole potato) As for crisps, well normal crisps are kind of chipped from the potato so chips works, though I would descibe them as slices... however they are called crisps because they are crisp, as in crunchy. And I have never heard anyone call crisps 'crispies'.

It's pommes (de terre) frites actually, meaning potato fries.
