Are you from the UK, USA or Canada?

[mr-tom]

Just wondering where most people on this forum are from. Obviously most will be from America. When I first came on I just assumed everyone was from the UK so I want to know more specifically now.

I didn't think so; I thought it would be a mixed bag.

Besides that: it is nice to talk to people from elsewhere.

Wow, with only Canada, the US and the UK, the rest of world is going to be really a large sampling, Europe, Asia, Africa, etc...

Hmm, what about us aliens?

World is not restricted to Earth, I presume.

What if I was born somewhere, I live somewhere else, but aim at becoming a citizen of yet another class in your poll ? (that's really true)

 

[tribdog]

I swear. Always got to be difficult don't you. It's funny.

Sorry humanino, according to this poll, you are in the "rest of world". I guess the "rest of the world" doesn't count as much as the countries specifically mentioned. But at least you are in fine company.

Do you have those idioms :
"The pot that calls the kettle black"
"One donkey chides the other for being a long-ear"
"The donkey called the rooster a fathead"
"An armadillo telling a turtle it is too hard shelled"
?
You know, being from the rest of ze world, I speak difficult

I wasn't specifically talking about you, but you are right. I am ashamed and I prostrate myself and beg forgiveness.
Edit: almost said prostate, and spell checker would have let me.

Didn't someone previously try a poll similar to this one, and they tried break-downs to include as many countries or areas or continents, and it all got controversial and messed up? This is a loaded subject, I think.

Yes, I remember that one. There aren't enough options to make everyone happy.

The UK is in Europe...

 

[humanino]

The UK is in Europe...

This is debatable even geography wise

 

[mr-tom]

I should have put more English speaking countries like Australia and New Zealand. But they're more like holiday resorts than actual countries so they don't count :)

This must be BY FAR the dumbest poll ever

ciao

I disagree. This is far less dumb than "who is the greatest scientist ever"
Einstein !
No ! Newton !
No ! Socrates !
No ! Kaku !
...
No ! Zz ! <---- to which everybody eventually agrees on PF

I'm not going to name every single country, I did this poll to see what the ratio of British to non-British is. So it's actually a very effective poll.

Sorry mr-tom...we're just goshing you . Well at least I am...can't speak for the others...

So why not just I am British/I am not British? How do you classify those from US & Canada?

I wonder if he is considering US&Canada = British. Yep, I am British/I ain't looks more good!

I would advocate a poll asking "I'm from here/I'm from somewhere else". This is less controversial.

I have a different method, of course

more good? nice grammar. it's gooder.

Really, you should be more nice. Did I mention that two times today ?

...but then, wouldn't everyone vote "I'm from here"... ?
