English (American English) is the de facto national language. Although there is no official language at the federal level, some laws—such as U.S. naturalization requirements—standardize English. In 2010, about 230 million, or 80% of the population aged five years and older, spoke only English at home. Spanish, spoken by 12% of the population at home, is the second most common language and the most widely taught second language.Some Americans advocate making English the country's official language, as it is in 32 states. Both Hawaiian and English are official languages in Hawaii, by state law. Alaska recognizes twenty Native languages as well as English. While neither has an official language, New Mexico has laws providing for the use of both English and Spanish, as Louisiana does for English and French.Other states, such as California, mandate the publication of Spanish versions of certain government documents including court forms.

1. Twinkies You may know these as the super synthetic, likely non-biodegradable cake snacks — the ones with a shelf life spanning years, if not decades ( okay, maybe just 45 days .)  According to Hostess Cakes , the goodie was invented by bakery manager Jimmy Dewer in 1930. En route to giving a presentation on his idea, Dewer saw a billboard for Twinkle Toe Shoes. With that, the adorable name — and the tasty treat to go with it — was born. 2. Cheeseburger This is about as American as it gets. The concept of the hamburger originated sometime in the late 19th century,  according to the L.A. Times . As the dish began to increase in popularity in the 1920s and 1930s, cheese seemed like a natural next step. The origins are widely disputed — of course they are — because who wouldn’t want to be credited with the cheeseburger that started it all? Nowadays, Americans eat nearly 50 billion burgers a year,  according to The Huffington Post . That figure translates to three burgers a

ENGLISH FOOD.  Traditional foods have very ancient origins, such as bread, cheese, roast and stewed meat, patty, vegetables, broths and freshwater and saltwater fish. The fourteenth-century cookbook, Forme of Cury , contains recipes from these origins and dates back to the royal court of Richard II. In 1953, Britain's first celebrity chef, Philip Harben, published Traditional Dishes of Britain. Its chapter titles simply listed " the stereotypical stalwarts of the British diet ", from Cornish pasty and Yorkshire pudding to shortbread, Lancashire hotpot, steak and kidney pudding, jellied eels, clotted cream, and fish & chips. Panayi noted that Harben began with contradictions and unsupported claims, naming Britain's supposed reputation for the worst food in the world, but claiming that the country's cooks were technically unmatched and that the repertoire of national dishes was the largest of any country's.

Guy Fawkes was the mastermind of the Gun Powder Plot in 1605, which failed when he attempted to destroy the House of Parliament. These night traditions celebrated famously in East Sussex, and Lewes commemorates this fail by having firework displays, bonfires, torch-lit processions and pagan rituals. Daylight Savings Time It is a tradition observed by England. Clocks are moved back one hour and takes place one week ahead of daylight savings time in America. Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day If America is famous for its Mardi Gras, England is known for Shrove Tuesday. Shrove Tuesday takes place before the start of Lent and is celebrated by Christians across the country by making pancakes. Pancakes are similar to crepes in England accompanied by golden syrup, sugar or lemon. Christmas Christmas celebrated on 25th December is a big holiday for the British people. The season is
