As if we needed more proof that Americans R illiterate

14 AUG
2009

From Alexa:

Visitors to A-P from U.S: 44.4%

Visitors to A-P from U.K:  4.2%

On our reviewer team:

Reviewers from U.S: 55% (6 total: Sothis, vivafruit, Sheex, mariprosa, babyeinstein12, ThePatches)

Reviewers from U.K: 45% (5 total: therik, KiraRin, VivisQueen, FalseDawn, cassiesheepgirl)

Yes that's right: the 4.2% of the visitors to A-P that are British are comprising almost half of its reviewers. The lesson? Americans suck at writing. Then again, everyone probably already knew that. >_>

Oh, I forgot to mention that using Quantcast would be better because as far as I know Sothis is still paying (or it could be one time only payment for all I know) for some site stat stuff. Look here.

Of course, this only includes people that aren't disabling javascript from it with noscript, but then again Alexa's is only from people using their toolbar iirc.

There have been reviews posted by 23 people on this site. You only have 11 listed. (Scroll down to the bottom)

Of course if you just meant active reviewers, then you are quite accurate.

Ah, I enjoyed this thoroughly erudite and might I say illuminating assessment. I feel the world is now a more enlightened place for your entry (and coming from a statistics guy, surely it's even more profound). Glad that there are still nuggets of unadulterated truth to be found on AP. :)

Don't blame the americans for the fact that they can't write, blame the institution run by the government. Stupid people are much more easy to keep in line than educated ones.

FalseDawn's also a Brit. Read the first line of his Kaiba review for proof.

By that same token, however, I understand that Valondar is from the Republic of Ireland, which - unlike Northern Ireland - is not a part of the United Kingdom. Bottom line: I make the score 6 - 5 to the USA.

Doesn't change your argument in any way, of course :P.
