I've just seen my third stereotypical Brit post within this week. The most popular one is tea and the Queen. In one suggestion I read “YAY SCRATCH, LONG LIVE QUEEN ELIZABETH!”, in another I saw various ATers typing “*sips tea*”. Why has mentioning Brits in posts become popular?

Well I'm from England, and I don't do that. Don't know why other people are doing that. I've heard some people were also saying very sickening things on the forums. They were banned.

Well, it's mostly always non-British people who poke the fun at us. I didn't know people ended up getting banned though.

I think it's from the British English vs. American English post…

That was the first one I saw, I think it's spread.

Give me a link. I might know why people are doing that.

I think it was the fault of my British English suggestion because I was only suggesting British English language and then people were like hailing the British and stuff. I guess we have to notify them.

To be honest, I'm OK with it (I even find it funny ), but some people who take offense easily at things may not.

I don't really have a problem with it. It may be slightly excessive, but it isn't causing any harm.

I live in Australia and we use British English

I've seen two in a week, but that's the first two I've ever seen as far as I can remember.

I'm (half) British. I don't like tea or Queen Elizabeth.

It's just because a lot of people find British culture pleasantly weird.

Cause ATers get off topic really fast.

Also because we Americans like making fun of British tea and football while throwing handeggs and eating burgers

Also because the British accent is funny/weird and because “u wot m8” is mlg

I don't like hamburgers. Nor do I like American football. *Stereotype b-b-b- Ohwaitnvm I live in ST, not America* xD

Stereotypes are fine as long as they're not insulting, IMO. And considering that you never know when a stereotype will be insulting, I personally think that they shouldn't be used unless they are British stereotypes, because British people normally don't mind jokes like that.

Wait lol I got nowhere.

Yeah, us British can take a joke at our expense. I like how you guys think we have funny accents though, what do we sound like you you?

You sound like you have a big ball in your mouth and you're trying to talk without your tongue touching the ball.

No, never mind, it sounds like you have a big ball in the back of your throat and you are talking like that. Imagine having the inside of your mouth be all round all the time.

You guys refuse to put an r after each vowel! You drive your kahs. And you think they're bettah than the Ameh-icans who don't want to insult you guys foh being the way that you ah, but that's just how you guys talk. And we want moh of it! British accents are supah funny!

I feel like it's a Boston accent without the a- in front of every verb (I went a-huntin', etc.).

I think it is more of a in the front of the mouth version than the back. Then again, Southern US English is good at dropping diphthongs. “Ah went to see mahself in deh mirror because Ah though' tah look'd han'sum. But now Ah dis-uhgree, and Ah look ver-ih uhglee. Fah-n by me.”

I just had too.
It's interesting to know what you guys really think about me. We did ‘invent’ English, ya know. :{
Perhaps I should close this before the ST do for being off-topic?
