When visiting websites on all topics, including Yahoo answers, Americans always write and communicate with an assumption that the question is writeen by an American, and that all readers are American.
Examples would be: "In this country...", "because our constitution...", "Just go to 'INSERT US ONLY SHOP HERE'" and so on.
Do other people notice this too? Is it just me that gets frustrated by this? ANd Americans, Why do you do it? Do you really not notice that a large % of the people you are communicating with every day online are from the other 95% of the world?
This is not intended as a racist question, I really want to know why things are this way?
