    “USians” makes it sound like you are talking down to people

    It’s right there in the comment…

        Oops, that appears to apply to Portuguese and Spanish conversations, but all other comments in this context have been in English.

        Mas eu estou aprendendo português e agradeço 🙂

          It doesn’t take interpreter to translate this picture but you can always use Google if you struggle.

            Actually, I was already familiar with those words in Portuguese. However, your guide made me realize that I didn’t know the Portuguese word for “South American.” According to Google Translate, it’s “sul-americano.” Thanks for helping me learn 🙂

            However, your guide is for Spanish or Portuguese, not English. This matters because most romance-language-speaking countries are taught that “América” is one continent. In contrast, most English-speaking countries are taught that North and South America are two separate continents, not one single continent called “America.”

              Who gives a fuck what USians learn at school? They also learn that USA is a democracy. 🙄

                Did I mention anything exclusive to what schools in USA teach?

                I did mention “most English-speaking countries” though. Is that what you’re referring to? Here’s a fun fact: USA is not the only English-speaking country. In fact, the language emerged from a place called England – hence the name ;)

                    If not, then why are you so hostile about it?

                    Actually – why are you so hostile about everything? It seems like most (or all?) of your recent posts and comments are negative, hostile, hateful, etc. You might be one of the most negative people on this platform. Do you just hate it here or something?

                    Your account is more than a year old (created 2024-07-05T02:03:51.795869Z). You have 334 posts and 4,412 comments. I’m very curious: If I were to run a sentiment analysis on that data, would it be possible to find a single positive thing you’ve ever said? Or even just “neutral” sentiment? Or are you just 100% pure hate?
