I'm pretty sure nobody knows but seriously, using letters instead of numbers is just as bad as algebra in school. Math is too easy with just numbers so they have to use letters just to make everything more difficult.Maybe someone put Randy in charge of county highyways in Wisconsin, secondary highways in Missouri and provincial highways in Tierra del Fuego which is why they use letters instead of numbers. That's one possible explanation. less

When I landed on the fair land that is the States we and our hosts constantly jibed each other about the need for an English/American translation dictionary :P I offered to write one.. I could be rich if I did!SO biscuit and cookies... to us they are two different sizes and textures of biscuit.. Anyway... just while browsing idly I saw this article - it's fairly light-hearted :)https://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2014/05/biscuit-vs-cookie/and this.. which ahem agrees with Brits on the matter https://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2014/10/biscuits-different-britainOne thing though... can you even imagine the cookie monster getting anywhere in life if he were called the biscuit monster??? Unthinkable!Disclaimer please dont get mad.. this is meant to be a funny look at language differences less

It seems to me playing/manipulating someone shows great disrespect for the target and supergreat arrogance on the part of the person controlling it. The intent never benefits the playee. The playee is always the dupe. Once a dupe always a dupe?

Do meateaters experience anger more often than vegans/vegetarians? If you subsist on a plant-based diet are you kinder/milder/nicer than those who don't?
