New England is the most /lit/ part of the country. Prove me wrong,

>>9719031
The south has way more culture you dirty carpet bagger

>>9719051
Obesity isn't a culture, you inbred faggot.

>>9719063
That's debatable

Don't you know all the truly erudite sages and intellectual masters live in either Montana, North Dakota, or Minnesota?

>>9719031
No, that's Seattle thanks to Amazon.

See, Americans can barely even speak the only language they know (being the monolingual plebs they are)

>>9719655
But anon, the Greeks were European

>>9719051
This. I'm a Connecticunt and my childhood consisted of obnoxious Yuppies who played tennis and poor Puerto Ricans who had 3 children by the time they were 20. I envy the Southern boys who grew up with ATVs, BB guns, and bar fights. That sounds way more /lit/ than boring brick libraries and European-levels of Leftist indoctrination.

>>9719658
When you're so influential that your language becomes the planet's lingua franca, you can be as monolingual as you want.

>>9719679
You're a moron.

Trade northern New England (that's Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont for the unfamiliar) for the mid-atlantic and you have your literary center of the USA.

Whoops, Virginia is necessary too. I didn't look at this map carefully enough.

New England:

Nice damage control, faggot.

>>9720010
That's one way to admit defeat, I guess. Try not to use arbitrary census classifications if you wish to avoid embarrassment next time

>>9720033
Also

>Melville
>New York

Have you read any of his stuff, faggot? Sure, he was born in NYC. But none of his literature takes place in NYC, let alone NY state, as he was a fucking sailor. Fuck off, you casual.

Is this faggot serious?

>>9720072
Yes, American English is our language, as Fowler et al acknowledged. "Your" doesn't imply actual ouwnership of a fucking tongue, my little europooor brainlet

>>9720072
"Mine" doesn't imply the originators of something, only that you currently posses it.

There's no such thing as "American English" you lowbrow faggot. You guys don't even own a proper culture let alone a language.

>>9720122
>There's no such thing as "American English" you lowbrow faggot.
Wrong. In fact, your English is largely Americanized
>You guys don't even own a proper culture let alone a language.
No one "owns" a language, halfwit.

How many years since the last European genocide? 20? It's hard to remember, you guys have committed so many.

NEW YORKER SCUM OUT

>>9720055
Fucking savage

>>9721031
I would also remove Deleware and Pennsylvania. Baltimore and New Jersey are influential in literature.

States that are garbage today, it doesn't matter in this discussion, because literature is made inside universities and board meetings and the internet today.

>>9719671
the greeks were greek. there wasn't a europe as we know it to make them european.

>>9719031
New England has been over run by Irish Catholics and Italians. Now the Spics and Chinese sre coming in to finish the job. It's over.

>>9719910
at the time missouri was The South. in fact today anything south of interstate 80 is The South.

Yeah too bad he couldn't give two shits about your trash state and wrote about the sublime beauty of California instead
