British is Bad

Note to our British and Canadian writers and to die-hard anglophiles*: This is the American Partisan (USA, not North American). Here we do not cash a cheque or add things for colour. We do not honour a debt and our pants are not made by Fruit of the Loom. Here, if something bombed, it failed.

*To help you bridge the gap, the author recommends Norman Schur’s British English A to Zed (we call it Zee). It is the best comparison of Britishisms to Americanisms that he has ever run across.
