All right. No, I don't think you're that simple and I do think that was sarcasm because it's substantially different from your normal writing style.
Now you confirm my suspicion and admit it was sarcasm!
I do hate to be contrary, , but it the comment was made sincerely. I believe that we've even had this conversation before about Germany hating everybody in football, but not in a cultural/political way. Note to Erik: none of this was sarcasm, unless you'd like it to be.
First of all, I am not acting like I'm British. I would very much like to speak another language here but it's not exactly an option, is it? And after living in England four months, you tend to take over some words and habits!
Secondly, if I wanted to act as if I were British then that is my goddam given right and absolutely NONE of YOUR business.
IMHO that question's paradoxically something of a reply, a classic that fits in seamlessly in any and almost every situation....a truly timeless classic......
