There is a myth that Americans hardly ever blink, is that true? I got this question from a Simpsons episode where Milhouse blinks and Bart tells him off for it also on another show where Gordo keeps blinking and Miranda tells him off!

What ignorant answers. I blink a lot less now that I wear contacts than I used to. I watched Nancy Pelosi during the State of the Union address and she blinked like every second.

I don't know really but coincidentally I just noticed this week that on Days Of Our Lives, the actor who plays EJ Wells and speaks with an English accent blinks A LOT.

Yes, blinking is directly related to brain activity, so the English blink a lot, Americans hardly ever......

I'm not sure about that, although I have noticed that English blink a lot when they talk.

You're thinking of the ones who've had facelifts, like Joan Rivers. The skin is pulled back so tight they can look out their nostrils.

I am American and I have never heard of this. I think it just depends on the person, kinda like breathing.
