    It’s not about the ratio, when a post is specific to a location outside of the US, the OP includes the location 90% of the time. When yanks post stuff that is specific to the US, over half of the time they never mention that it is specific to the US. This platform would be so much more pleasant to use if yanks didn’t assume that they were the default and were just as considerate of other users as everyone else is.

      I guess the limeys have a real shit education system for not understanding that more limey posts means more limey posts to read. it’s a shame really but unsurprising that the limeys would complain about there not being enough bureaucracy and how everyone should do it the limey way.

        Look I’ve never heard the term limey before but from a quick google search it seems to be an archaic derogatory North American term for the British. I’m not British so this just reinforces the yank stereotypes about being clueless about the word outside of North America that you seem to have been offended by.

      Be nice to the Americans, they don’t get the best education over there and don’t have the brain power to understand there’s other countries.
