Yes, they walk silly and do not know how to spell curb.

Pity for Saint Swisher he wasn’t a Python fan. It possibly could have raised his IQ a point or two and saved his life.

Our curb means to restraint something or someone.
Hence why we use ‘kerb’ when talking about the edge of a pavement.
Quite sensible imo.
To: the scotsman
The curb restrains errant cars...

Anyone who’s ever walked in Midtown Manhattan on a weekday knows that New Yorkers aren’t big believers in “sidewalk etiquette” either.

Seems I recall one etiquette rule (British?), that the gentleman walk on the outside or next to the kerb/curb and protect the lady from carriage splashes or other refuse (horse manure?) thrown up from the street. (I had 19th century relatives.)

Don’t you guys walk with your tails between your legs, at least when it comes to standing up to “new arrivals” that rape your native girls by the THOUSANDS?

Most British men still do that, albeit unconsciously most of the time.
To: the scotsman
Same here, I feel ill at ease if I am walking on the inside. It’s like standing for a lady or opening the door for her nibs—it’s inbred, I suppose.
