      We are trying to get along. We are already speaking English, which is a massive step in your direction. US commenters and posters don’t even bother to convert to kilometres or something. Or the worst: write about something that happened in AK as if everyone knows postal shortages of the US.

      I also understand the sentiment that the internet is effectively a US invention dating back at least to ARPAnet.

      Yeah, but this is a website. Sir Tim Berners-Lee represent!

      Plus also, English is an English invention.

      But otherwise, you’re good.

      The World Wide Web is not an American invention. Who invented what is completely irrelevant in this context anyway though.
