    In my experience, Americans are really ignorant of any other dialect of English.
    In my experience, you can't generalize about 300 million people, including those of us far away from any coastline.

    In my running circles (in the U.S.), it is perfectly normal to refer to a minor, nagging, but not really limiting physical ailment as a niggle. Runners have them all the time.

    Why yes, yes in fact you can. Large populations are actually the only group of people you can generalize about. Sociological studies are performed to gain la udinal data about said groups of people. It is dangerous to use that data to infer reasoning, i.e., Texans are heavier than most Americans because they are lazy. It is accurate to state the former quote without the italics, but it is incorrect to equate that with causation.

    It's very easy to tell the Americans in this thread, they all wet their pants like 5 year olds laughing at the word "niggle"..

    Niggle is a racist term, tbh.
    The politically correct term is "jigabooboo"

    . Why hasn't his finger healed yet? Surely a break doesn't take this long.
    Broken fingers can take up to 6-8 weeks and that's not while playing. He's playing, so he heals slower, he is still getting hit, having the ball hit that finger. Plus it's a joint and joints, in general, have poor blood supply.
    He can elect to do surgery after the season but most athletes just grin and bear it. My pinky finger is jacked up because of hoops. It no longer goes straight at the 1st knuckle. Oh well, at least, I have an entire pinky, bent but still all mine. Ronnie Lott cut the tip of his finger off because if he was given time to heal the bone grafts, it would have not made him ready in time for the 86 season, so...off it went.
