When I think of america I think of the diversity, so many different cultures, climates, accents, ways of life. I would love to travel there

I'll say (honestly) what 1st came to mind:
1- Fergie
2- That crazy Brit slang
3- The charming British accent

Nigella Lawson. Other than that, nothing really. I think of Britian and a lot of things that have to do with British culture. ... And I think about British spellings and our differences.
... What comes to mind when one says American?
