Americans tend to drive and many have gone through the experience of buying used cars. HP and Carfax are both U.S. companies. Should an American take umbrage if a British article discussing Deliveroo had a headline referencing Tesco because it’s meaningless to the entire rest of the human race?
- sixothree 1y agoCarfax also inserts themselves into the process of buying new cars too.
- lproven 1y agoOnly, AFAICT, in 1 country. There are 193 countries. So only for half of one percent of people. Much less by population, of course.
- Apocryphon 1y agoActually, Carfax also serves ten Canadian provinces. And appears to also be active in twenty countries of mainland Europe, though I understand that nowadays in Britain there is less of an awareness of the continent.
- lproven 1y agoI'm not in Britain. Haven't lived there in over a decade and I never plan to do so again.
- lproven 1y agoYou mean apart from the way Tesco operates or has operated in about a dozen or so countries?
- Apocryphon 1y agoThe average American knows not about that, nor cares even if it was true.
- lproven 1y agoThe "average American" is a small fraction of the audience for anything in English on the Internet, and anyone making or writing for the Internet in English needs to remember that. About 1.5 billion people speak English. If every single person in the US saw it, that's about one fifth of the potential reach.
