European Traffic

The Brittish drive on the left side of the road because in days of old, the right hand had to be the closest to oncoming horse-back traffic to protect with the sword(think of a duel). The Australians also drive on this side because they are a Brittish settlement.
The french started riding on the right to differentiate themselves from the Brittish.
Dont get me started about rights and wrongs.
Only America could mistakenly refer to napoli (tomato) sauce as marinara sauce.
Marinara, meaning of the sea (marine), is a seafood sauce in every other country.
Only america could write a date as mm/dd/yyyy...wouldnt it be more sensible to have an ascending progression of dd/mm/yyyy like everywhere else? or possibly a descending yyyy/mm/dd or japan.
pronounce schedule as skedual, leave the 'u' out of colour, refer to a ball carrying sport as football blah blah

ok now you can flame me
