Is it regional then?
Might be regional.
Lucky me, I don't need a translator when I visit England because: 1) you guys have educated me properly, and 2) my brother-in-law is English British.

You don't like the "you guys"? That' another Americanism, I guess.
Oh it's not that - it's just as a Brit I reserve the right to roll my eyes at anyone who isn't a Brit
*chortle*
Ah, I see...
No comment.

Oh no. 
I don't even like American's saying "Y' ALL". 
I actually type 'y'alls', plural, it's even worse than you thought.
You'd be a hate figure with the 21 American's of doom.

I have dual nationality - British and Irish - what you gonna do, roll one eye?
American's are fine ones to talk about we Brits thinking we are better than everyone else, don't the American's refer to themselves as "exceptional"?

I have a British passport but can also hold an Irish or a Polish one. [unless they changed the rules since I last checked] .
that's a lot of eye rolling I think
And just in case anyone wonders why you'd want more than one passport... if one was travelling all over the world as some of my mates managed to do years ago [to any Americans that's those places on the rest of that round ball we live on and not just America 
] It is handy to have different passports to enter certain countries as some will refuse entry if you have a stamp from another country that they don't like.

I chose a British one over an Irish passport as you have to apply for visas to enter certain counties whereas the Brit one gets you straight in. Too much hassle! I don't need a passport to feel Irish 
I'm only half Irish, the other half is Polish and the third half is British cos I was born here so I went with that one

That's the same reason i went for an Irish one, it's where i was born even though i have lived in England most of my life.

Oh yes, the hands free paper dispenser is genius!
