Those were great for basic fact checking and making sure no stray Americanisms slipped into a story, but a lot of those communities were a bit of a clusterfuck when it came to anything cultural. Watching a group of Brits debate whether a specific phrase or activity was real/made up for television/real, but only in this specific region/real, but only in the 1930s/made up by foreigners to make fun of us/made up by us to confuse foreigners was entertaining, but maybe not helpful for writing purposes.

That sounds hilarious, and it's reminding me of a rant I was around for with an exiteable young British teenager harangueing his hostel-mate about everything that was wrong with France. (The latter boy was French. They were both in, um ... I think it was Paraguay?) And it culminated in an exchange about how the French all sucked [having to paraphrase, I'm sorry, it's been too long for me to remember the actual wording] for having invented purple. Or, conversely, how that was an entirely nonsensical accusation because it wasn't possible to INVENT a color. Good times.
