[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP at 23:04, it's naive to say that cultural differences aren't valid unless they're extreme. There are no shades of grey in your world. As someone with lots of real-world experience, I've found that sometimes the most tricky cultural differences are the most subtle.[/quote]
Again I ask you - where are the institutions devoted to preserving and handing down these tricky, subtle  cultural differences? Where are the keepers of the British culture in the US?

They are here in my house (we are another family of Brits living here). Yes, we don’t have “British School” - though actually there IS a British school here -  [b]but because we have a common language and many cultural similarities with the host country[/b] many Brits do not feel the need to seek out institutions devoted to our culture. But to say it isn’t there or that there aren’t differences is wrong and ignorant. [/quote]

Thanks for making my point.[/quote]

Ok so we all agree. Many cultural similarities and also many cultural differences. The presence of one doesn’t mean the lack of the other. [/quote]
