Merely highlighting Glaswegian's problem.

My post is grammatically correct. The "us" in my post stands for the United States - with the grammatical syntax of the post, what else could it be?

 

[Smitty]

My post is grammatically correct.

Maybe in the UK; generally we (in the US), precede with an article (and capitalization with regards to country abbreviations).

I most likely just misinterpreted what you were trying to say, so my apologies.

Of course, don't say it ain't so that there just might be differences in the the way you'ns speak vs. us.

Take care now y'all, :wink:

How would you interpret "Us Brits are ...." ?

 

[bat17]

That would have to translate to "We Brit's are ..."
as "US Brits" would be an oxymoron.

Did someone say that this new Lounge was a good idea?

 

[Legacy 21301]

I certainly didn't.

 

[Glaswegian]

Ponsy, the place would not be the same without you!!

I regret that I cannot agree with your opinion.

The full text of "US Brits" would be "the United Sates of America Brits".
There is no oxymoron - it can surely only mean Brits living in the US, or Brits who are US toadies (like Blair), or something similar.

I cannot think of an interpretation of "US Brits" that could be considered to be an oxymoron but I trust you will provide a suitable explanation to the contrary.

"Brits living in the US" just makes them Strangers in a Strange Land

I suppose someone with dual nationality could class as a US Brit though
