NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 4 weeks agowhy did you immediately jump to the conclusion that the country being referred to was the US?
Probably because there’s really only one nationality of people who do this lol

Odd. In my experience I have seen many people refer to their home country in that way. Do you refer to your country differently? Perhaps instead of country if OP said here that would have left the pedants less triggered. I digress. Just because you view something as commonplace - does not automatically make it the rule… much less actually reality.

I’ve had people be absolutely furious when I didn’t specify that the country I was talking about was Finland and not the US.
“We should do X”
“But we do, here’s a link”
“That’s about the US, not Finland”
“Why would you assume we know you’re from Finland??”
It’s pretty funny and I admit that I do it on purpose.
