It’s totally reasonable to assume your users are in the US if your business only sells to people in the US. I work in the health insurance sector; there’s absolutely no chance my company ever sells these products internationally. We can’t even sell them in every state.

- bigstrat2003 2y agoIt actually is. That covers the vast, vast majority of people in the US.

Otherwise you might as well demand that computer systems need to support arbitrary drawings in the name field at which point you might as well not have a name field at all because even most humans won't be able to deal with what you want to put in there.
