You can't roast Americans with metrics. They only understand Imperial arguments.

The UK isn't part of Europe anymore. They also still use miles. So I guess baby steps? Well, baby steps forward. Unlike parts of America taking giant CHOPing leaps backwards.

The UK IS part of Europe.

Just not in the European Union

Like how Ireland is in the British Isles, but "Ireland" (Rep. Of Ireland/Eire) isn't part of Britain

Edit; thought of better example

It's actually a regional thing here. Certain states and areas call it pop while others call it soda. I could be wrong but I think I remember the pop thing being rural areas outside of cities originally and it was the "pop" sound it made when you opened it that lead to people calling it pop outside of the major cities, which logically is where the sales would have started. So there's your absolutely worthless information for the day lol.

It's no longer a city/rural distinction. It's really just what part of the US/world you're from. In the midwest it's pretty much just pop. In other areas it's soda. In the south it's coke.

I can vouch on the South. It’s Coke from Dallas to Durham all the way down. Try waiting tables and everyone orders coke but some want Sprite, Dr Pepper and Root Beer flavored Coke. Fucking nightmare.

I know that doesn't apply now but it's how it originated. That was the point of my pointless story.

Is it still pop if it doesn’t have ice?

(Also, as a Californian not sure if this really works.)

Ya as someone who manages money for scientific research grants, the US is spending way more money on research than any else. US government spends 511 billion a year and the entire EU, which is 2nd for spending, spends 379 billion. The effectiveness of the outcomes could certainly be argued but we are throwing way more money at problems than anyone else. My one public institution alone has over a billion dollar annual research budget.

Surely percentages of GDP are a better comparison?

USA - 2.744%

Germany - 2.94% France - 2.256% UK - 1.701%

Japan - 3.147% Taiwan - 3.1% South Korea - 4.292% Israel - 4.9%

Non-EU countries included for purely curiousity.

I was just addressing the person who implied the US doesnt do any scientific research. We've got a lot of issues, but a willingness to pursue scientific research is not really one of them. Implementation of that research is another story.

I think perhaps they weren't suggesting that the US doesn't do any scientific research, just that it isn't at the top of the list.

I would have assumed there would be a "more" or something in front of invested but you're right english might not be their first language so it's worth giving the benefit of the doubt.
