check dis, i found and english to american dictonary!!!
Yank n., adj. To a Brit, a Yank is anyone of American descent. It's not altogether complimentary and conjures up an image of Stetsons, oil wells, Cadillacs and overweight children. It was once popular to call large American automobiles Yank tanks - a description one might regard as unfair to the humble tank. The word is derived from Yankee, which I'm told by a contributor is an Indian word referring to those from Connecticut and New England. I am told by yet another member of my private army of researchers that Yankee was a derogatory term for northerners dating back to the American Civil War and is in fact an amalgamation of two common Dutch names - "Jan" and "Kees". Various others tell me it's from the War of Independence and as if that lot wasn't enough, I get about two mails a week from Americans defining a Yank as being someone from another part of the US. Well, as far as I'm concerned (and, I'm afraid, as far as everyone else in Britain is concerned) it refers to Americans. It's my dictionary, and that's that. Nobody said this was democratic. Pick a definition and run with it, that's what I say. When Americans stop calling anyone British "English", We'll stop calling y'all Yanks.
obviously when i use the term yank i mean it in a warm friendly sence. i love america, but love home even more

how incredibly perceptive of you, from 3 letter i have typed you have managed to determine that i am a 'wigger'. which in its self is something i have no concept of apart from a white nigger what ever that maybe?? an idea that stinks of racism to me anyway. black, white people are all the same
is said 'dis' because its an easy abreviation. you don't here me complain about the poor standard of your writen english, thats because i don't think spelling is that important. getting the message over is. hell i have enough problems coping with written english and grammer.
anyway why are you on the offensive, it's not like i have said any thing rude about you, your people or your country. grow up, this forum aint a slanging ground
