> userbinator: "When someone assumes you know what English-speaking country they're referring to, it is likely to be the US." I normally take a bit of a "dim" view of generalizing certain behaviors to an entire nation's population, but this one's spot-on for certain, and I say this as an English speaking U.S.-born citizen that's lived here all my life, and pretty much grew up "online" (had Internet access since the early days, and even before that I was on local and "long-distance" BBSs quite frequently). When this specific sort of assumption is made online or in writing / speech, it's almost always "The U.S." Totally too many folks here have a "weird world" inside their mind where there is only "here" and "everywhere else", and "everywhere else" only really matters at all if it somehow "infringes" upon the personal-space of their social-media mandated "rage button".
