I'm not sure how other states work, but here in Oklahoma, it's different from town to town. You have local, county and state taxes. In my town it's 8.35% but I can go to Oklahoma City and it's almost 10%.
In regards to number 5, I've always seen advertising for mess as a means to sell said mess and to also make aware the potential side effects of said meds. I've never personally told a doctor about meds I've seen on TV I just take whatever they tell me too.
Many of these are similar or the same in Canada. Also language differences, like chips/crisps, french fries/chips, elevator/lift, pants/trousers, and the list goes on.

First time I lived off base, I always had to open my wallet and get out more money at the cash register, because nothing on base is taxed. Also, you don't tip baggers at civilian stores.
I've always been weirded out about the flag being everywhere. There's like 6 on one building where I live. I get the pride and what not but no one is forgetting where they are.
Like starving people everywhere, racism, sexism, completely crazy religious nuts EVERYWHERE, homeschooling, school shootings, anti-vexx, the list goes on and on... the nice things I guess
I went to US like for a month and came back 3 days ago and this literally covers everything. THE FLAAGSS, I thought it was a preparation for 6th of July or something
I've always been under the impression 15% is standard unless your service is flat out terrible, due to the fault of the server being rude or inattentive, or you tip more if they're good. I usually only tip 15% if they weren't very good, I'll tip higher if they were. I have never not left a tip, because if someone is really terrible enough to warrant no tipping I'd speak to the manager instead. Luckily that doesn't happen often to me.
15%? As a British person that seems a little excessive

15% is normal here, sometimes a much as 20 if the service is great... It seems high to me as well but waiters probably don't get paid as much because they're expected to get tips
And churches, churches everywhere, different brands of churches. And people actually use them. I counted six times more churches per kilometer when commuting in Pasadena than in my high-density Dutch town.
