- renewiltord 6y agoI think one is expected to understand the context oneself or else the first time one's spouse says "There aren't any eggs" one may receive a terrific fright at the thought of the impending doom of all sexual reproduction on the planet.
- darren_ 6y agothe 'context onself' is americans talking about america. got it.
- gladskdks 6y agoThe issue here is that the vast majority of American articles make no effort to convey the fact they are talking about America. The internet is a _global_ space and there's very little effort required to make the distinction. I would argue that the writers of these articles are the ones not understanding the "context of oneself" given how they think their readership is entirely American.

- mattkrause 6y agoPerhaps because the author (and restaurant) are Canadian?
