That does NOT say that only one country can do something for it to be a "tradition" now does it?
You realize that means basically everything American's do could be called an American tradition?

There's a difference between something simply being a tradition, and something being a national tradition. IMO, for something to be a national tradition, it should probably have something to do with that country, reading a magazine on the shitter might be a tradition, but it isn't a national tradition.
