I guess this is how people outside the US feel when they read an article that doesn't specify "in the US".

- criley2 7y agoI was unaware non-Americans went to American websites and didn't like that the American content was American. I've personally never gone to a .co.uk or .ca website and felt bothered that the content was British or Canadian, myself.
- xtracto 7y agoI agree. That's why I never visit .us domains, I generally limit myself to the international domains.
- gruez 7y agoEven though .com isn't specific to the US, it is by default. eg. amazon.com vs amazon.co.uk
- fipar 7y agoBut were you unaware that non-New Yorkers went to New York websites and didn't like that the New York content was New Yorker? ;)
- criley2 7y agoIf by "unaware" you mean "clearly demonstrated awareness by describing the source and it's location" then yes, I was "unaware" Question: do you find value in defining words to be the opposite of their common usage? Because my post demonstrates clear awareness of the situation and only describes it in a meta sense. ;)
