If you study Americas Horoscope it has Saggittarius as its rising sign ,the signs ruling Planet being Jupiter,
Saggittarians are well known for talking amongst other qualities ,why use one word when 10 will do !! , this is why they are often into writing etc,
Jupiter is the Planet of Expansion/no limits which explains the Americans notion of size in all aspects of their life,
