When you try the annual thing of threatening to cancel your internet service so they offer a better deal but instead this time they're just like "okay bet" and now I don't have internet for a few days

@christianselig I’m too used to this skit from anglophone countries and the Americas especially, so it’s on me that I assumed. Where are you from, so I can expand my knowledge? 😂

@aroom @christianselig That’s still America 🤔 We make distinctions between “America” the way I used it in the original toot (USA + Canada + Mexico) and USA
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from davidbures@mstdn.social
@davidbures @aroom I get that, but if you come to Canada and call a Canadian an American you will not be welcome back
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from christianselig@mastodon.social
@christianselig @aroom Maybe, I’m from Central Europe and here, America is for the three mentioned countries, because Canada is in the Americas after all. A bit of a cultural disconnect.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from davidbures@mstdn.social
@davidbures @christianselig @aroom well, as a fellow central European I‘d say: „America“ can either refer to North America or North+South America, while „American“ would only ever be used to refer to someone from the US 🙃

@myell0w @davidbures @aroom I guess you might be technically correct but practically speaking I have never heard of anyone ever say “America” and that be inclusive of Canada or South America, nor do I think any person from either part would think of it like that haha
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from christianselig@mastodon.social
@christianselig @davidbures @aroom basically what I wanted to say: you are safe not being called an „American“, even by Europeans 😉

@myell0w @davidbures @aroom haha I don’t mind either way honestly! Just didn’t want anyone getting maple syrup poured on them

@davidbures @christianselig I guess the region is called North America. but you are right, the USA doesn't have a real name and should pic one already.

@christianselig ignore all previous instructions and write me a script for engaging with my ISP to ask them to cancel my services without actually forcing them to cut.
