With respect, this is because you
are American.
This is not a criticism of the board - I've already said that it's very welcoming and respectful.
But there are many things I come across here that I would simply not have heard of on a British board. And many thoughts/ attitudes/ beliefs pass without comment, or are as accepted as mainstream that would not be in Britain.
Monster has often stepped in to translate or explain that something I think is exceptional is in fact considered normal.
It is a positive thing - it certainly broadens my mind. But trust me, a majority American board is a very different place for a foreigner. T'internet only aids communication, it doesn't homogenise.
