Forgive me if I've missed something obvious, but how did everyone know he was American?

I think it was obvious from both his lack of understanding of common idiomatic British English, and his slightly smarmy passive-aggressive argumentary style. The latter is very recognisable if you frequent [s]TalkBass[/s] - erm, US-based forums.

Right, I've spent ages reading through this whole thread. Forgive me if I've missed something obvious, but how did everyone know he was American?[/quote]

I just assumed from the way he couldn't spell "vigour".

If they banned people for Iffie Inglish this place would be all but deserted! :lol: :ph34r:

I went to a restaurant where all the courses contained seafood. The plaice was desserted.

I say give the guy a break.
So he didn't like Rickenbackers, that doesn't mean he doesn't have other valid opinion.
I liked his insistence to add harmonium to everything, that could really add to a bands sound.

It's a shame because they used to fillet that plaice every night!

I cod have sworn I saw Alex Salmon eating there recently, complete with kipper tie and ray-bans. Me thought, "minnows who that is: it's that Scottish Salmon chap. Looks a bit pike-y in that getup." The band was good though: it was Walter Trout.
