No offense intended people. I'm interested to know. I would say that I am curious, but with four of our five countries speaking other than American English: Curious as inquiring, inquisitive or questioning, not odd, peculiar, queer, strange or weird.

Okay, please calm down. At the bottom of the Yahoo! Answers pages are three rows of national flags. Row one, left to right, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and India. That is the source of my question. I clicked on the US flag, where it says "United States Answers" when I sign in. My Yahoo! is quite new. If you have an older version I can appreciate your ire to some degree but please, my question was in no way intended to be accusative or adversarial quite unlike some of your "knee jerk" reactions.

Hey! American - Texan - English Speaking.
Click on any of the other 19 national flags at the bottom and see how much English you get.

I should have signed that: American - Texan - Multi-lingual

I accept your question as a genuine, non-insulting, non-racist query!
: )
The simple fact is that all of the English language Yahoo! Answers sites are sort of joined together ... you CAN choose to have only questions from the 'country' of your choice, but it would surely be a tragedy to limit yourself to only questions from one nationality, SO ... Yahoo has made it easy for you to see questions from people with different experiences, backgrounds, and interests!
If you only want to see questions from America then it's quite easy ... on any page with lists of questions on it there's an option on the left hand side, you can select 'All English questions', or the other one! What that is will depend on which Yahoo! Answers site you came here from..!
There are 6 Yahoo! Answers sites in English language ... US, UK, Canada, Australia, India & Singapore...! Don't you think that's going a little too far...?!? There are also 4 Spanish language ones, and 3 Chinese!!
Incidentally, my Yahoo! ID gets me onto ALL of them except the Japanese version ... but that's because the Japanese Yahoo! is a totally separate company....

Just because one American asked this quesion, no one nationally and internationally should assume that all Americans are self-absorbed and "stupid". You might assume the writer is inexperienced, young or a neophyte to the internet. If you characterize all Americans negatively from one honest question, then I'd easily say that you are an idiot (in any language).
I am a multilingual, 4th-generation Chinese American who will remind you that brilliant American minds and ingenuity created/developed Yahoo! In this global community, everyone should want to educate the uninformed, not criticize and despise. (And I am an EYE-witness to both the construction and destruction of the World Trade Center.) Get pleasant PEOPLE!

I don´t think yahoo answers really sorts questions/answers out by country I think they only sort them out by language The same thing happens at yahoo spanish for example If you click on Yahoo spain you´ll see the same questions as in yahoo Mexico or USA spanish sometimes It may look as if it is not as the flow of questions moves fast, so eventhou a person has logged into Y/A India his question/answerwill pop up at all of the other english Yahoo sites. It happened on a question a guy from Mexico asked, Where in mexico do you live at? and a guy from USA asnwered he was forgetting the site was not for Mexico, Still I was logged in the mexican site when I read that question and the other guy told me he had logged at yahoo USA spanish.

Wow. you people are not only rude but your all idiots!!! You actually "can" chose to only see "American Only Yahoo Answers", that is what he is asking. In "choosing" "United States Answers only" you still get questions from other countries. I've done it as well and you still get somebody talking about India or Australia.......sorry I have no answer for you, I guess Yahoo hasn't worked all the bugs out of it's filtering yet.
By the way.....nice answer chance!

A lot of us speak the queens English and try to understand the American version, might be useful some day, when the troops arrive, or even worse, the tourists.

It's not called United States Answers. It's called Yahoo Answers.

May I ask a question back from you? If each person should go to the "flag" for his country and pose his question there, what can people whose countries are not represented here, do?

Choosing 'US Questions only' will cut out only questions which have been posted from ca.answers.yahoo.com or uk.answers.yahoo.com etc. I'm Canadian but I tend to log on through the main Yahoo! site because it saves me three letters while typoing in the URL. Anybody who chooses 'All English questions' will see all of them, whichever site they've logged on from.
