That thread stretches over nearly 100 pages, occasionally descending into ribaldry as Brits, thrown together, are wont do. I've picked out a round dozen fairly inoffensive examples of ideas put forward, in honour of my US anniversary.
YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN IN THE USA TOO LONG......
If you start buying into this 'freedom' crap
When British Tories look quite sensible
If you believe USA is the 'leader of the free world' and the only place with rags-to-riches stories
When you start to fantasise about what you could do to get deported....(or start spelling fantasise as fantasize)
When your first thought on being approached by a police officer is "don't do anything to startle him and make him shoot you"
When you see nothing wrong with the fact a lot of police officers are too fat to get out of their cruisers, let alone chase down a suspect. Luckily they can just shoot first and ask questions after. Not having a problem with this is also a sign you've been here too long
When you stop trying to convert $ to £ every time you buy something
When your fork lives in your RIGHT hand (left hand for lefties!)
When you start eating that Kosher Dill spear they serve with a sandwich, something you originally thought was repulsive
When you think taking home over half your dinner in a to-go box is perfectly normal
If you start saying "different than ..." instead of "different from ..."
(PS: on this one: not me - not ever!)
If you drive a Suburban and have a concealed weapons permit (PS: ditto).
