re: #263 Alyosha

Btw, just an aside, how do Americans feel about being called Yanks? I know traditionally it refers to those in the northern states but we use it in everyday speech regardless of the subject’s state of birth. I’ve almost used it here before but held off in case it was considered a prickly nomenclature.

I understand it as a common and endearing nickname for Americans among folks from the Commonwealth Nations, so I don’t mind.
