Whatever. The point stands that your knowledge of "Europeanness" is still purely notional at this point.


Yep, you do. I'm sorry you feel it necessary to deny this; there's no shame to it, it's just a fact about you like your reaction time and whether or not you're lactose-intolerant.


Sure about that? A lot of Québécois winter in California.


Don't you? Can you not distinguish Liverpudlian from Glaswegian or Welsh English from West Yorkshire?


Where in England are they from? And when you say "go online and speak with [them]", do you mean by Skype or something?


That's a bit odd. I don't generally make a point of using vocabulary I don't think people will recognise if I also know words they do. Sure, I could insist on asking the Mexicans who work on campus for pavo instead of guajalote and tortillas instead of omeletes, but at the end of the day I just want them to fix the food I'd like to eat.


You've kept count?

Wow. not even going to bother.

You're both boring. I'm going outside and play with my dogs.

for pavo instead of guajalote

and tortillas instead of omeletes,

What is this dish that they call "omeletes" and you say they are called "tortillas" in some other Spanish dialect (the Standard of Spain?)?

How are your sisters, by the way?

Omelettes. In Spain, these are called tortillas, but if I ask Mexicans for a tortilla, they'll give me, well, a tortilla (tortilla de maíz en el castellano de España).

In fact, when I think about "tortilla" I imagine a "tortilla de patatas" or "tortilla francesa" (we call it francesa when it's just made of egg). And their tortillas are like Arabic bread but made of corn (certainly delicious, BTW xD).
