Everywhere is not the USA

[lingychops55]

Posters write that they are from the "south" or the "west coast" or "WV". The south of what? The world? Antarctica? The west of what? Africa? Namibia? OK I happen to know where WV refers to, but I bet most people outside the USA have no idea. The power of the internet is that it is international. (That "inter" thing is a clue). It is embarrassing, or should be, that nearly 20 years after the Web got going, people are still writing as though the USA is everywhere.

No offense, but don't mention the internet if you're also going to claim that, without a specific country designation, you have no idea where someone is from. This website: literotica.com. The UK Times? thetimes.co.uk. The USA is the only nation on the internet without a country code, just like how British stamps don't list the country, but the US ones do. I agree that people shouldn't act like the US is the only country, but if you're going to bring the internet into it, then the argument is against you.

Yes he did, then died.

The majority of Literotica members are living in the US.

I have no objection if they think that everyone else understands when they use abbreviations for US-based locations.

But I don't expect them to understand similar British terms. Why should they?

lol @ this shit

 

[oggbashan]

Because 95% of the posters here could not name 2 of the British Isles much less any 5 cities/towns in merry old England without using a search.

What? Not even Pratts Bottom? Nor the towns along the River Piddle?

No. US members are a minority at just over 40 per cent. The next largest group is from India at about 11 percent.

The second largest sub national political division in the World? Or the unimportant entity in the North Western USA?
