    I agree with one or two of her points, like the drinking age and the World Series, but I think she's bombing out on the generalising.

    And she forgot to mention that America invented cheerleaders by the way.

    51 things Americans are doing wrong...apparently.

    This kind of sweeping put-down is unobjectionable only when aimed at one’s own country. Of course many of her points are well taken - humorous, even - but others suggest that Sophie-Claire Hoeller was on a mission to find fault.

    Sophie-Claire! Your envy is showing. Don’t be a hater!

    It's nothing but click bait really and as far as I'm concerned, vive la difference!

    If one were to write about the things that Argentina get wrong, America would look like paradise.
