I’ve had at least four Americans I met on separate occasions almost immediately bring up the Revolutionary War and ask me loads of questions about what we got taught about it at school. They always seem to want to try to use it as a weird kind of social status thing, like the guy wants me to acknowledge that he’s better than me because his country gained independence from mine two and a half centuries ago…
i once talked to an American who asked me how they celebrate 4th of July in Scotland.

Surely there’s a joke about drinking on it to celebrate, like the Scots do on the 5th and 6th of July as well
I had English people ask Irish people why they don’t celebrate the 5th of November. These people are everywhere.
American education system is a joke
