Agreed, "I drive a black cab" would be much clearer for us Yanks. I assumed it was a race thing too.

- callumlocke 9y agoWould you be OK with me asking you to avoid using a standard U.S. English phrase so it's clearer for us Brits? "Black cab driver" is part of our lexicon. It carries a lot of cultural meaning, and it's always phrased like that. You briefly misunderstood it as race-related, then you learned what it means. I don't see a reason to change anything.
- colanderman 9y agoYes, I would be OK with that.
