Because Americans always mock us for liking "soccer"

And Europeans mock us "for" liking sports other than soccer.

And you don't know how to use apostrophes. Or capitalization. Or the genitive case.

It's time to hire an English tutor. And go see a psychologist while you're at it.

Because people don't understand the fallacy of composition/division.

Yes, I started that sentence with a conjunction, come off it–as people in the UK say.

@jasean79: I'm Portuguese, and from the generation that grew up being taught "If you have nothing nice to say keep your mouth shut" so I don't feel like I need to say out loud everything I think (not quite that Dutch yet XD) so I'm perfectly capable of biting my tongue if I'm in south US. Thank you for the concern though...I know there would be a huge hole left in GS forums and lots of people weeping if I got myself shot and couldn't contribute with my invaluable insight anymore...
