Hi Qubex,
OP here, also non-American (and, incidentally, British!)
It occurred to me that suffixing the name with the country would probably be a helpful annotation considering that the US is "Marlboro Country".
- qubex 8y agoHello there. I am also British (and Italian, but I digress). You are correct that it was useful, and I did not wish to detract from the utility of denoting where in the world Marlborough is. I merely took the opportunity to air one of my pet peeves about what could be, by some, in some sense, seen as the adoption of an inherently American norm. I tend to get rankled by things like that first thing on a Monday morning. I really apologise if it came off more cantankerous than I intended.
- seanhandley 8y agoFair enough - I get rankled by encroaching Americanisms, too. Particularly when our son says "parking lot" or "sidewalk" after too many hours on YouTube. The struggle is real!
