The Americans all love 'The Holy Grail', and the English all love 'Life Of Brian', and I'm afraid on this one, I side with the English.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love the English. My God, they brought us 'Benny Hill,' 'Monty Python,' 'The Office,' Neville Chamberlain.
I love English, though I now call it 'Anglo- American' because we no longer speak British English due to globalization and America's economic power.
Through my youth, there was imposed on us a culture relentlessly English. English books were all you could buy; English television filled our screens, and in consequence, England seemed to matter in a way that our world didn't.
I was also in love with the English language.
I love England and I love English culture, particularly English pop culture.
I think Brits probably feel that Americans are more like us than vice-versa, if that makes sense. Because we get everything American over here in Britain, but yet there are things which are staunchly English that you guys don't have.
When a French book becomes an international hit it is because of the author and not because of the language. The same goes for movies.
Don't get me wrong - I'm a big fan of things American - but when American people do British stuff, it's so universally dreadful.
This very individualistic form of Protestant Christianity that became so basic in English and then American life is to a large degree responsible for the historical success of Britain and America.
Nothing could be more inappropriate to American literature than its English source since the Americans are not British in sensibility.
