commonwealth countries is zed not the American zee.

That's why I told my sister, who lives in NZ, that if they were really committed they would call it New Zedland.

Except that the islands were named by a Dutchman who named them after Zeeland and charted them accordingly.

Otherwise, you’re probably right.

I wonder what we'd need to do to complete the Americanization. If we do that, we do it right. Then I don't want to be some boring Boston academic family. I want us to go all the way to Southern hillbilly. Would a "Let's go Brandon" shirt be a good start?

@Klaus, acquire a U.S. flag and recite the Pledge of Allegiance to it.

[Klaus]

Getting a decent (or in fact any) supply of weapons and ammo might be a problem here...

[Copper]

Believe it or not, I chewed a lot of Red Man in Boston.

Of course it is grown here in Virginia and NC

@Klaus perhaps its my own ignorance of expectations, but I've found your grasp of the American culture, lingo, politics, news, etc... seamless. As if you live here. In fact, are you my neighbor here in Minnesota? Admit it. Klaus is SUCH an obvious over acting move to try and sound foreign.

@89th Minnesota is in America?

Seventeen years of TNCR will do that even to the most Teutonic soul.
