Edit: For the "Fun fact"

Not sure why so serious but at least we agreed on it being a little island. Now we should probably try to figure out why peoples heads are so big for living on such a little island.

Also I kind of want to know what Englanders call the sport that the NFL sends there for an annual game each year.

1. At least it is our heads that are big (due to our brains) and not another area of a humans anatomy known as the stomach. (During the 1 year I had to live in the US I saw the American stereotype drive his car 30 feet to his mailbox?)

2. Yes it is a small island. That is the direct result of us needing less food to sustain our admittedly less bulky forms, hence less farmland. (You have 5 square kilometres ((Yes, kilometres is internationally accepted)) per person.)

3. I know you only learn in 1st grade, but it's English, not Englanders.

4. a. American football believe it or not isn't internationally recognised.
b. While football correctly names the part of the body it is usual to strike the ball with, in American football the name is inappropriate (it should be chicken ball)
c. Guess what type of emoji appeared when I wrote football ️

Sorry, when was that?
Bbeetlejuuc, I would challenge you to put our argument to rest, but I feel that would be unfair. Should we continue, or duel.

Or the FA, for that matter? Taking into account their are more football clubs in England who use the the f-word correctly than all the clubs in the world who use it incorrectly

Still responding so angrily. I'm really not attacking your home. Those were just fair observations. I think ti was fair anyway. I'm really curious what you call the NFL sport that comes over to play once a year there. Just in passing conversation. I get that you all call football something else. Do you all just hate the game they bring over there once a year because of the name? I'm justt curious.

Since I'm not from Britain or England or what have you I'll probably keep calling you Englanders. Like people here call me Finlander for having a relative ride a boat here once upon a time. I'm actually more mutt than my pet which is a Spaniel gene away from being an Englander Springer. He has kind of an attitude too.

It took me three attempts to get the white CM to post this. Time to give up the typing.

No argument from me. I fully respect your right to use football as you please. Dueling, now who invented the 10 paces and turn dueling thing? And any chance we can agree on the length of a pace?
