not only just the nature of the language, but also I think the nature of the people. For example, one day I was watching Oprah...yes...and she did a show on 30 year-old women around the world, and when asked what they thought about Americans, a great majority of them said that American women were very loud, talkative, and outgoing. I think that Americans in general are a very direct people who are used to having the freedom to say what they please when they please...bad thing or good thing? I'm not sure...
