(Anonymous) 2015-03-24 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)I love when that happens too. :)
whenever I watch British things with my SO (who is British), he points out cultural references that I'd otherwise miss.
Given how much media we share between our various countries, I think there's a tendency to think we already know enough about the world we're writing about. It's only when you get someone pointing out to you all the stuff you're missing that you realise how different such similar cultures can be!
That's another thing I don't understand about people not wanting to Ameri/Brit/Canuck(!)pick things. If I'm reading fic set in America or Canada and I come across something I don't immediately get - I love googling it. It's like a bonus lesson included in fic. And then, hey presto, I know something new!
Looking over these last few posts though, maybe I'm just a massive, massve geek. Hmmmm. :/
Is Canuckpicking (I only learnt that world

(Anonymous) 2015-03-24 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)Thanks for a lovely discussion, sabotabby!
*And yes, Canuck is a word I only learnt through fandom. If I hadn't been in Due South fandom, I'd never have learnt that phrase. :)
Yay learning!(Such a dweeb)no subject
(Anonymous) 2015-03-25 02:36 am (UTC)(link)I always find that correct use of the word 'Chesterfield' works well :-)

Exactly. I mean, I feel I know a lot about American and British culture because I grew up with American and British TV. But that doesn't mean that I can get 100% of the details right, or that input from people who actually live there aren't going to add all kinds of added depth to the setting.
And yes, also a massive geek. Nothing wrong with that at all.
