On a more serious note, Grammar Girl often elaborates on grammatical differences between America and the U.K.

For example, style guides in the U.S. dictate that quotation marks include most ending punctuation marks, like "this." The British, however, put them "inside".

Nylimb and I often wonder why.

My accents are not very cute so I couldn't be acute. Chronic maybe, but not acute.
