Why do you tag everything with your name?
He's my English cousin.

I'd have a feeling you would aswell. In all honesty if you say this stuff to someone with hair, wearing a shirt you'll be fine, say it to something with baseball hat and some tattoos and you won't.
and because I'm a loudmouth American, I would probably say it to the latter rather than the former.
On a serious note, I was watching Torchwood: Miracle Day, and they said Lemonade isnt carbonated in the states? Is this true?
Or is Lemonade ambigous? We call Sprite or 7UP lemonade. And they're carbonated.

Sprite and 7 up are lemon lime soda.
Lemonade has no bubbles. Its just lemon juice, water and sugar.
I prefer lemonade ice tea. That's some good stuff!
Why do Americans drive on the wrong side of the road? :sneaky:
Isn't there Orangeade in America? What's that?

I don't know the history behind it, but I do imagine it's easier to shift a manual transmission gearbox with your dominant hand. In a left-hand drive car, you operate the stick (giggity) with your right hand, which is most people's dominant hand. That's probably not why cars/roads were designed the way they were in America, but it is a convenience of having it that way.
Orange Crush!
Please tell me you guys at least have cream soda

Orange soda. Though it's usually just called orange soda.
Don't ask me why the -ade suffix is general for any type of sugary drink. There's Gatorade and Powerade, as well, which aren't carbonated.

I'd have said it's more important to steer with your dominant hand. Changing gear is a very simple process, you can only move the gear stick into a few different positions, steering you need to sensitively operate to a full 360.
Well, keep in mind that most roads in the US are very, very straight. Steering isn't something that we need to concern ourselves with all that much. I've never driven a right-hand drive car, so I'm just speculating, but I feel as though I'd be more comfortable keeping a wheel steady with my off hand than shifting, which requires a certain level of manual dexterity.
Changing gear you do automatically without thinking about it, try driving around a tight bend, then dodging something dangerous at the last second with your non-dominant hand, it's tough.
Steering is clearly the more important bit. Even if you guys do have a lot of straight roads.
Straight roads and large cars. If I come around a corner and there's something in the road, there's a solid chance I can't be bothered to steer around it. Fortunately it'll take more than a child to damage my giant American car.
I drove a stick
Having been a Philly sports fan my entire life and having gone to a bunch of games, this is very true of America as well, just sayin'.
