A US chain-smoker goes through a couple of packs a day, NFFC (by way of example) is on his third pack by mid-morning.
People from the states call Great Britian the UK .... mostly we call it Great Britian or Britian.

That's because we don't know where all that stuff ends and other stuff begins. My understanding is that by saying "The UK" I cover lots of stuff over there - ok everyone that talks like james bond or highlander.
I have no idea if this is true, but it seems to work so far.
Kinda of like when I refer to people being Asian. No sense in making a mistake by trying for chinese, japanese, thai, or whatever else. If I say "Asian" I cover a darn good segment of the population.

In U.S. no one bats an eyelid when someone puts half and half in tea (YEEEUUUCH!).
In U.S. an 'Entree' is a main course, when it should really be an appetiser (ROFL)
Yes, biscuits and gravy instead of tea and biscuits, crisps are chips and chips are fries, and don't talk to them about pudding.
Yankees write the date the wrong way round and drink beer straight out of the bottle.
I could write a novel!
But that's okay, because we do know how to spell colour, humour, and search engine optimisation.
I take it all back, they do have a sense of humour ;)
Americans are much louder than the Brits (generally ;))
Americans make better Pizza (Sidenote I eat pizza with my hand and drink beer out of a bottle)
Canadians are more like the Brits than American ;) (well Adam and Tod are)
