Wearing Baseball Caps
Isn’t baseball the national pastime of the United States? At least, it was at one point, and it is still thought of that way, despite the fact that we now watch more pro football than baseball.

Clapping for a performance is crucial, and it is welcomed anywhere you go to see a concert.

That is not required anywhere, not even in the United States. Put a stop to it. Stop. Put a stop to it.
