#usamerican polls

[elvisqueso]

I was curious if this was a common experience bc this was a fairly standard "first day of class" thing for several years throughout grade school and even a few times in high school for me. I specifically remember the wordage being "what's your nationality?" Which is wild bc most everyone's nationality in that scenario would technically be American, right?

If you want to: include the overall demographic of the area you grew up in the tags, bc I think that might affect whether this was a common experience or not. Maybe include your general age, too? We're spitballin' here, obviously.

Pls reblog for sample size (and be kind to each other in the notes 🙏)

something I've been curious about with how many people online seem to just identify as "leftist" but nothing specific. this is a tumblr poll with limited options and nuance tho, so just pick whatever you identify the most with out of these options, sorry there's not really any options for the overlap of these labels.

If you reblog this do me a favor and put your age (or generation, if you’d prefer) what country/region/province/state you grew up in, and whether or not you were raised religious

Fellow mythkin, cryptids, other nonhumans of the like, urban legend enthusiasts, and people in the anthropology (such as myself) or religious sciences fields:

Okay, inspired by that post about how USAmericans take swearing much more seriously than other countries, here's a poll: (I'd love to add more nuance to this, but 12 options is the max, so I can't include as much detail as I'd like.)

If you're non-USAmerican, please feel free to leave your country of residence/origin in the tags, along with your answer!!! I'd love to see if there's a correlation between certain countries aside from the U.S., but I was limited by 12 options.

(*Also, as for what counts as "casual swearing", that would be swearing that happens in any conversation or context aside from a strong negative. So swearing when you're in pain doesn't count, and neither does cussing someone out or shit-talking someone when you're angry.)

(for the purposes of this poll, casual swearing aimed at a person would be any non-malicious swearing directed at a person, where they are aware that it's non-malicious. Something like a lighthearted, joking with friends. For example, your friend tells you something shocking and you say "fuck off, you're kidding me". Or even something like "you devious motherfucker, I love it!")

(for the "certain swear words" option, as an example, you might be okay with hell/shit/damn, but not things like bitch or fuck.)

And as always, please reblog for sample size!

i saw something recently that said most americans pronounce cot (a small collapsible bed) and caught as homophones which i can't even imagine so... (usamerican in this situation can include canadians if you want. you guys basically have the same accent idc)

that new thing where usamericans have started using more cockney adjacent accents to imitate british ppl they don’t like is kinda… idk it feels off,, esp when they’re using slang that’s attributed more to working class people. like what happened to making fun of posh people 🤨 i promise you boris johnson and jk rowling are not the ones saying bruv or innit
