It's a shame not to hear some feedback about this, as it is a thing which really
buggs me (sometimes) when I speak to Americans (especially when I'm in America).
It's worthy of a thread in itself, and it's not intended to have been exactly
"on topic" regarding Elnur. It just made my sub-thread idea come to mind, but I
mean it as a seperate topic.
