They don't use our language - they use a deliberately modified version of it, called 'American English'.

2) I'm not from Leamington Spa.
3) "Indignation", sounds like you read the Daily Mail.

The English have long since lost any proprietorial rights on "their" language. It's England's great gift to the world but, like any gift, once given, the giver can't complain about how it is used.

I can't help feeling my result would have been the same if they'd used red and blue squares instead of white and black faces. 'Little or no preference for white faces, all because I was a little slower on some of the responses after they switched the colours around.

General opinion of the test? - spheroids.
