That is very much a statistically significant thing, yes. I'm Danish. Get along fine with Brits and Aussies, deadpans, understatements and poisonous sarcastic barbs translating well enough both ways. With Americans present, experience has taught me to shift into a far more cautious mode. And often these days, what Americans describe as irony, I fail to recognize as such. A very broad generalization, of course, but has served me well enough as survival guide.
