[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer your question, it varies widely. I am very curious and well-read and I surprise my coworkers frequently with things I know about their cultures, countries, basic trivia, etc. I mentioned to one co-worker that he was a Cassandra- often warning with nobody heeding. He loved that and wanted a link to the myth as he had never heard of that in his country.

I have [b]English coworkers that everyone thinks is posh[/b] but they make these crazy grammatical errors that people on DCUM would flag as ignorant in a flash.

So, it's is wild variation. If they mention something to me that I don't know about, I want to learn! There is nothing wrong with googling and learning more. Better than staying ignorant.

I know what bouillabaisse is. It's peasant food. I love when peasant food is elevated like that! Lobsters, ratatouille, tortiere, steak and ale pie, borscht, and on and on. [/quote]

There are various types of English/Brits/Scots people. Richmond upon Thames is not Liverpool, nor is Glasgow Edinburgh.[/quote]

Nor is Scotland England? I specified that they are English. I don't want to be much more specific than that because everyone hates on the northerners anyways. Oops I let the cat out of the bag. [/quote]

Posh gets used by both, but the vast majority of people cant tell the difference between a London accent and a Manchester accent, or, hell, even a Cape Town accent.[/quote]
