  1. "Luxembourg, IN EUROPE" - a sentence only an American would say. 😆

  2. Lack of historical knowledge here is so sad that it makes the joke not funny. Side note. The similarities between the empire of Great Britain around 100-300 years ago has so many parallels to American history that it really proves the mantra 'if history is ignored your doomed to repeat the failures of the past' I just hope the us learns about economy management better than the BE did.

  3.  @RetailThrone  indeed. Though I have to ask. Why all the text pictures? Edit: my text picture suggested I was amused and found irony in the original statement.

  4.  @gdclemo  that is exactly my point. Only Americans seem to do this. I've often wondered. Is there something missing either in the American version of English. Or in the way American people think. That requires an explicit distinction. A friend of mine mentioned another example yesterday. Americans say "the president of the United States of America". Not "the president". In England if I said "the prime minister" then everyone would understand I meant the prime minister of England, NI, Scotland and Wales. If I meant a PM from another country then it would be taken for granted that I would specify. In the case of this video. There is no need at all to "clarify" that it is referencing a country and not a place in another country....... ...well there is no need to anyone I know who isn't American. So I'm back to wondering. Why do Americans and only Americans do this? 🤔 If anyone knows a good channel on entomology and the differences in English language across the globe, I'd appreciate a recommendation.

  5.  @sir_sack  things like this do matter though. It's interesting. It's why intellectuals posit and answer questions. Such people are way smarter than me..so I'd love to know of there is an answer.

  6.  @Biblestudies658  not a serious one I hope. If your in England, don't worry. You can get treatment for free (sorry, couldn't resist).

  7.  @sir_sack  I thought I was being clear? Hence the long and detailed replies.

  9.  @Biblestudies658  slightly confused as to whether you died reading my comment. Or you died because you don't live in England. Either way, as you are dead. I offer your nearest my condolences... Should they read my reply that is. Rest in peace.
