Mudbound - Just finished watching it.

Now that we’ve established what a hot mess American English is - let’s talk about other hot messes in the U.S.

Why are U.S. pairs so bad?

Lack of quality pairs coaching that stresses packaging and execution.
or
Skaters not having quality enough singles skating skills before going into pairs.
or
Successful singles coaches aren’t used to help jumps/spins/skating skills issues. Are Frank Carroll/Christy Krall/Damon Allen/etc. not willing? Or even asked?
or
Horrific job of pairing teams together
or
Something else
or
‘MURICA! U.S. pairs are awesome!
