How do you tell that someone is an American?

[DexWest]

An Italian told me that Americans measure in time instead of distance.

The difference between Americans and Europeans is that Americans think that a hundred years is a long time, while Europeans think that a hundred miles is a long way.

The Italian is correct. I live in Los Angeles and if you ask someone how far it is to another spot from where you are, they will almost always answer you in time. The reason for this is because it certain times you can want to go 4 miles and it will take you 5 hours. Other times you can make that trip in 15 minutes. It all depends on how much traffic there is and the traffic in American cities. Generally speaking is horrendous at certain times and essentially absent at other times.

If they are loud and obnoxious, there is a good chance they are American.

@dexwest Maybe because time is money.

You can tell an American because they always have a camera around their neck.

Ask them what continent South Africa is on. If they answer incorrectly, they can only be American.
