We've got nothing against America. After all, our transatlantic cousins did give us Arrested Development and KFC.

But if America is going to come at us with badly punctuated cultural observations - we're going to hit back. A 16-year-old recently took to Twitter to highlight his observations about supposedly weird things that British people do.
