To illustrate the difference between Brits and Americans:

I used to have a British ex-pat neighbor. His wife's car sported a bumper sticker that read "Paul Revere was a snitch!"

He was honestly afraid that he would offend me, what with me being a rabid patriot and conservative. When I found out, I made a point of telling him I found the sticker hilarious and not offensive in the least. We then shared a good laugh over the different points of view.

He also refers to the American Revolution as the American Rebellion. Again, just a different perspective.
