Aiwendil, that is an interesting point, and I think I must be disensitized to even noticing Englishness, (perhaps in the way you don't notice the hum of the refrigerator after awhile). I grew up fond of reading books by English authors, listening to English music and watching quite a bit of English television, though this wasn't intentional. I just found it more to my taste than what ever else was around.

It just seems that the increasingly global nature of these times tends to obscure the distinctions for me.
