I feel like this may be good for oppo since there are so many people for different countries. Especially how Americans and Britts use “quite” with opposite meanings. Random car image:

so “The Birds” was based on real-life events?

also, is it illegal to shoot the little bastards?

Garbage disposals are awesome. Giant posters of high school sports teams? Normal, but only in recent years (hell, my local high school — the size of a medium university — sells life-sized posters of kids to the families as a fundraiser. It seems just a wee bit egocentric to me.)

I’ve always used “quite” as like tongue-in-cheek enthusiasm, as in “sort of”. So I guess more British than American. The German have the word “ganz” which depending on context can mean “very” or “just a little.” It causes problems.

Birds are what messed up Kat’s car so badly. The Birds must be based on real-life.
