16 years of your life is definitely enough to be at the very least an honorary Brit! You've surely picked up the accent at least partially, too! Can't say it's fun at all, but eh, I guess I've enjoyed my teeth not all falling out and being way too cramped and such... though a wisdom tooth is causing me some concern. It might actually not be a wisdom tooth and could be an EXTRA MYSTERY TOOTH but uh, it's seemingly coming out about... 30 degrees in the wrong direction. Not looking forward to my next dentist trip.
Politics is where people argue to get their way with lots more money and lives at stake. Nothing too complicated really! Though there's a lot of over-complication in the form of lies and such. A politician with an ulterior motive won't simply say "and yes this is to mess up the lives of x to bring prosperity to y" they'll be all like "ooh this is for the best honest TRUST ME I'M THE POLITICIAN"
You're actually not allowed to see anything I wrote back in the day. U for you was the least of it. 2 meant the number two, to and too. 2 was a substitute for three words. And it appeared a lot. I think most my ancient scrawl has been deleted from the internet now, thankfully...
