In a comment to the “Fifty ways to love America” post, Mike writes:
What's with you and Britain all the time? I thought you grew up in Pennsylvania.
Well, Mike’s right — I did grow up in Pennsylvania, specifically Pittsburgh. However, though my parents are now American citizens, they grew up in South Africa, which was formerly part of the British commonwealth. So, like Australia or other former-commonwealth countries, South Africa has many of Britiain’s customs and culture.
At any rate, maybe that’s why I score “40% British” on the “How British Are You?” page ;).
