Here now,

What's all this?!?! U.S. English? That's just English without the accents and idioms. Regarding item #4; Bond, James Bond. As for football, I suppose rugby could be an acceptable third choice, after hockey, as long as you don't expect me to cotton to that sissy-ball game, soccer. Please, men running around a meadow in bobby-socks. I keep expecting the refs to come out in poodle-skirts. As for learning "God Save the Queen," at least we wrote our own anthem instead of making up new words for "My Country Tis of Thee." And where's the sport declaring war on Quebec or France?
