40. Whatever, America's greatest gift is the sinking dollar, war without |
|
reason, Christian zealots, pollution, corporate welfare, and feelings of entitlement. I'll take the gingivitis, thanks.

and on a more serios note, great writers and literature.
Excellent TV with very few commercial breaks, one time I was wathcing live golf from ESPN via sky sports.... 11 AD BREAKS IN ONE HOUR...OMFG.
Anyone who likes British comedies look at for these doosies that are all pretty new.

38. I am stunned that no one has yet mentioned the greatest gift |
|
that England has given us, namely, the English language! I've been told by English friends that we misuse this gift terribly, but you're not supposed to carp about how someone else uses what you give them. :P
I would also add trial by jury, the Tudor era choral composers, the twentieth century choral composers, the Episcopal church, BBC dramas, and some fantastic mystery writers.

39. We misuse it just as badly |

Not me personally Im taunted at Uny for my dicition but the accents and slang are nuts.
In my area T's are virtually non existent.
Overall though the English language is a great thing.
