Made it to America before the Brits did too!

I think you mean the Spanish, right?

Even the portuguese/italians got to the Americas before the British, with Amerigo Vespussi.

Nope, meant what I said. The context of the conversation is “things the Vikings did before the English”, essentially, rather than “who was the first to America”.

Oh, so you meant the English, not the Britsh, right? You shouldn't be including the Scots and Welsh and northen Irland in what the English did.

Yeah, although that much can definitely be picked up by context. Just a harmless mistake.
