My dumb Yank question was going to be to ask if the UK had poison ivy, likely because I have a bad outbreak of it right now. Then, I remembered Google was my friend. Apparently some moron thought poison ivy was pretty in the autumn and introduced it to England?

On the contrary - if you saw two blokes in the Sahara with coats, you'd know they were Geordies. After all - it might rain!

An American was talking to me about another American, and she said, "You probably can't tell, but her grammar is really bad." Not saying it was a stupid thing to say, just interesting.
