On that subject, there are some peculiar linguistic differences. Waite was offended at the term "Muggle-born." I smirk at what he would think of our other term. They use "half-blood" and "pureblood" very loosely, and the former term is apparently – and inexplicably – a slur here. Most people here claim to be pureblood, but if Waite’s census numbers are right, then by British standards virtually no one actually is. Bloody Americans.
