It used to be said in Europe that 'Americans don't ''do'' irony'. Seeing the failure to grasp the fact that what I was saying was sarsasm, I guess that statement seems true after all. No offence was intended. Obviously we should put different concept of 'sense of humour' and 'irony' on a list of American and European differences on a wiki list! Wikilove. JT.
What kind of Americans are you talking about, the kind that come from Canada, or the Americans that come from those ''other'' places in the Americas?
