I always took "quite" from any English source as people being more laid back about their enthusiasm. Kind of a happy medium, if you will.
Yeah I'm quite impressed any of you Americans got this at all.
I find this quite interesting. I'm saying that while being neither american or british, so what do I actually mean?!?!?
So, basically, Brits view Americans as being just above primates on the evolutionary scale? :(
i quite eoff
Quite just means silent! You sillies :lol:

Being viewed as slightly above primates is pretty complimentary given that an accurate view would see them as primates.

I quite agree. It's pretty accurate. It can get rather varied in enthusiasm depending on the emphasis of the speaker, though. That should be fairly obvious.
Reading this thread has ironically made the word lose all meaning to me.
I always thought the English were just containing themselves so they don't look overly excited. :(
