I like to answer questions, but many answers to questions depend on where in the world you live. Obviously mostly Americans here. Do you realise that Yahoo answers is world wide ? Maybe not. I still can't figure out how it's called the World Series in baseball...

People should identify generally where they are from when they ask a question. Sometimes the answer would be quite different in the US from elsewhere. The ones I love are like this --
"What does it cost to fly to London?" -- when you have no idea where the person asking wants to fly FROM.

I'm not from the US and I don't know if you are,( but maybe that question about the World Series gave you away as not being American - How can it be the world series when the world wasn't even invited to play!), but I honestly believe that our American cousins are not so dim witted. Maybe, they pick it up in the style of English we use. Sometimes, like me or you - me rarely, check out someone's profile.

yes there are people from other countries that is why at the bottom of the page there are all those flags. If the answer depends on where you live you should ask it in that countries section. Of course most people would assume that in the US section most questions and answers would be about the US or from a US point of view. That is why there are different sections.

I usually assume they are in the states unless the language gives me a hint as to otherwise. Yahoo is an American company so I assume it is going to be mostly people from over here. I don't know why it is called the World Series either.....

What? People here aren't all Americans? How can that be? Shouldn't we do something about that? I always knew YA was international. I even knew from the begining that English wasn't always the first language of some of the paricipants.

Im an American and yeah, I know, I think everyone knows, actually. So, if answers depend on location than quite obviously if someones not near that location, theyll skip over it.

Yes, we realise that there are some Euros and Aussies and whatever else here. Unfortunately your societies choose to revolve around America, so it ain't my problem.
