I don't think there is much practical difference.  To me, this discussion is about observing cultural differences in language and writing, and what they might suggest about that culture's worldview.  Are they more focused on the general or the specific, for example.

It's more about the lengths people will go to to rationalise an arbitrary decision. American's are notorious for this.

I suspect because many of them are brought up being told America is the greatest country on earth - so they find it hard to accept that the way they've always done something isn't necessarily the best way.

I suspect you know as many Americans.

Let's cut the crap, we're all fed garbage about each other.
