    It's definitely been knife and fork for all of my life.

    Can confirm never heard fork and knife. Would have put that in Klopp English rather than the other way round.

    My rule is short word first for elegance. French and Saunders were pretty good. Saunders and French would have been heckled out of a few comedy clubs and never heard from again. It's a no for 'women and men'.

    Mokbull backed me on ‘taking the l’-gate but I’ve got to say I’ve only ever heard knife and fork. I can’t remember any of my American friends reversing it growing up. My only defence of Mokkers here is that I regularly had to ask for a knife in American households as they use it as a multitensil more than us.

    For some reason, “fork and knife” sounds more natural to me. Must be a(n) (North) American thing.

    RealClearPolitics, which appears to be fairly legit, has flipped 4 states back to white putting Biden below the threshold. Imagine the scenes

    Apparently they never called Pennsylvania or any of the others that would've put him over the line.

    I know you're being tongue in cheek, but it is. They're announcing the results of an election before the results have been finalised. Doubt it will change anything, but what's wrong with the system we use? Votes are cast, counted and then the winner is announced at a town hall. Takes all of this bullshit away.

    That's because they're counting votes on state level which is equivalent to, say, the whole of the north of England being a single parliamentary constituency. It would take days and the Sky News would get many rounds of intermediate results in just the way their networks are over there.

    You just get more counters in, surely.

    Or don't, it's not like this is important or anything, just who'll lead the country (and arguably the World) for the next 4 years.

    Did you miss the whole part of the Postal service being forced to go slow or that they couldn't count them until election day in certain states?

    +1 for 'fork and knife' although I doubt that hearing either version would make me pause. Interesting realm for the British superiority complex to expand into though.

    You also have military/overseas votes and some states will allow votes up to a week after election day (as long as they're postmarked by election day).

    Why are we so pathetically obsessed with receiving a phone call before France or whatever? Why does it matter who he calls first? Is international politics conducted on a school playground basis?

    Imagine suggesting the President of the United States might not like Britain due to his ancestry. What sort of a racist...

    I had never really appreciated quite how poor turnout usually is for US Presidential elections.

    Is that a function of the Republicans trying to stop half the country voting? Neither of Barry O's victories were on a turnout higher than the 2016 election?

    The most votes ever thing is also starting to grate a little. Isn't that as much of a function of a growing population as it is an energised turnout? Did Hilary get the most votes ever last time, seeing as turnout was at least 4%+ higher than every election since 1968 (when I would assumed there were less people in America)?

    Right wing PM Scott Morrison has congratulated Biden on his win.

    Edit: It also happened 3 days ago I missed it.

    Apart from actually being the most votes ever, this was also the highest turnout (relative to eligible voters) in more than a century: https://www.marieclaire.com/politics...-turnout-2020/

    I think the Electoral College has a lot to do with the perennially low turnouts. Every year people in 43/50 states know their vote isn't going to make a difference, because they live in a solid red or blue state, which makes it a lot easier not to give a fuck.

    A suburban Minneapolis man who told police he's a supporter of President Donald Trump is accused of attacking an elderly couple with a golf club after he saw them at a street corner with a Joe Biden sign.

    I've found alot of value in replying "Biden will NEVER be my president" to basically any Americans tweet. The enthusiasm you get from both sides is great.
