I, too, have lived abroad, two years at teh University of St. Andrews, in Scotland. Here I got to see many stereotypes the young Britons hold of Americans, and one is that the female American students are very much concerned (overly concerned) with dress, makeup, etc. This does not imply everybody, but it is one thing seen. Having seen both my sister and XSO when they were preparing to face the world, I can see where they get that opinion. Of course, we are also seen as being very impulsive in our actions. -- James C Armstrong, Jnr. ihnp4!abnji!nyssa "Have you no women beyond the stars?"
