Half of Britons Talk to Their Cars

Another reason why British people rule*:

LONDON (Reuters) - Nearly half of motorists regularly talk to their cars, giving words of encouragement ahead of a long trip and lavishing praise for a job well done at journey's end, according to research on Monday.

A survey of 2,000 owners also found 40 percent thought their car had a personality and was capable of being upset whilst 19 percent worried about how their car was feeling.

The use of whilst in the above paragraph is yet another reason British people rule*.

*As a result of the dissolution of the British Empire in the twentieth century, the British don't rule nearly as much as they used to.
