So I suppose you mentioned this several months back, and I just didn't notice?
I'm Brit-American, yes. And that's not to be pretentious (like "African-American" sounds pretentious to me, if you're black and your grandparents were born in America, you're a regular old American. Get over it.) but my father and his family were born in England, and my mom is American, her grandparents were born in Germany and Czechoslovakia.

I lived in England for quite a few years, off and on. I generally consider myself American, except when people make comments about limeys. (grin @ ljim)
