What as a English man should I look out for on a trip to the USA.

    It’s a single country with a single currency, a single government, a single history, and a single language. Yes there’s a lot of variance within the country, but it’s really nothing compared to visiting Europe.

        Single language made me lol.

        Sure, most signs have English on them… but that’s it.

      I think they meant where, as in are they visiting mountains, desert, rainforest, plains, or certain city or state. There’s a huge range of cultures across the very different regions in the country.

      I honestly love it when such profoundly misinformed statements are put forward with absolute authority like this.

      a single history

      You know that half the country went to war with the other half, right?

      a single government

      In California, you can order weed through an app and get it delivered to your front door. In Idaho, get pulled over after picking up for the month, you’re a felon.

      a single language

      Single official language sure. At my work I’m the only native English speaker and a majority of our customers are foreigners who speak little English.
