No way! We are completely different: The way we speak, spell, everything! You are a completely different country. There are a lot of similarities too though.

Not at all.
Despite all the paranoid propaganda in the UK, not a single American thinks of the UK as "51st state".
I don't think the people saying yes are Americans. This stereotypes is most common among continental Europeans, and they're the most interested in seeing the US & UK start hating each other.

Not even close. I see them as the Commonwealth they are, like Canada, Australia, etc.
"J", I had the same experience living abroad. My ancestors may have come from England, even my name is very typically English. But I am an American, any recognized ancestry ends at the border.

Our country used to be Britain so it is in our history to feel connected. Plus the whole Roosevelt-Churchill vs. Hitler thing really solidified the American feeling of well being toward the Brits. Then the Beatles came but I won't go on about it.

No. My family came here in the late 1600 from England. After 13 generations I was proud that I was a English descendant until I lived as a foreigner in England. What I thought we had in common was wrong, we had little in common.
Answer: When I left for England, I was a English descendant. When I returned to America, I was an American. Whatever I had in common with both countries ended in the War of Separation.

despite what both Brits and Yanks say and angrily deny,
American, British, English-speaking Canadian, New Zealander, and Australian culture are very similar to one another.
Notice how Americans can't distinguish between different Hispanic groups? (i.e. - In NY were all Puerto Ricans, in CA were all Mexicans)
Ditto for the English speaking nations mentioned above from an outsiders perspective.

Since my mother is English and my father American, yes.
