It always struck me funny how Americans refer to it as "Europe". Like, "I traveled to Europe this summer"; what does that even mean, lol. It's like their country's land mass is so large that they intuitively assume that other entities must have a large mass too, and see homogeneity where there is none.
- machomaster 11mo agoIt would be like Russians traveling to America, but making no distinction between Canada and Mexico. Except that Russians don't do that. This is an entirely and purely American problem.
- nxor 11mo agoThis analogy makes no sense.
- machomaster 11mo agoThis was not an analogy. It was an additional example to add to the parent's observation. As well as to dispute that it had anything to do with people from countries with big land mass.
- nxor 10mo agoThere are clueless people from many places, not just the US. Europeans refer to Asia as Asia. Is that a problem too?
- nxor 11mo agoEuropeans also use the word Europe.
