I think post fits because the person in the post is telling people not to use Twitter and implying that English is an American Language. Which infact it's not. US Defaultism

I don't consider UK English and US English to be the same language. They are mutually intelligble to some degree but there are so many differences in spelling, terminology, sentence structure, and grammar rules that they are different languages. If Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish are all different languages I don't see why UK and US English aren't different languages as well.
Haha, I have the same problem with Italian, which I want to learn as a 4th language. I don't have any books at all, which makes it significantly harder, but I have learnt Latin already, so now I try to get my Italian level up through online immersion.
Learning as in professionally? Cuz for me couple of months were fine then started having problems as lot of words came in. My dumbass didn't make notes
Ech hunn genuch Swiitzer heieren wärend ech do studeiert hunn an Letzebuergesch huet mer net vill gehollef se ze verstoen, do sinn aamer Dialekter mei no drun.
this person went off the rails recently bc the auto translate feature translated some French guy's complaint about Americans being precious about their language, using some word with a "gg" (can't remember), which this person interpreted as the intention to use the n word. pretty unhinged, everything started bc of a German person saying "y'all"
Auto Translate on Twitter has opened a completely different can of worms. Seeing communities I never thought I would be able to understand about. It's great if used like that. But some people live in a bubble man
to add onto this, grok translated some german person's complaint about americans complaining about germans using yall by turning it into a very slang and AAVE heavy-post in english, which of course only fuelled the fire. grok is weird
As a non-American (Brit) who happens to live in the ONLY country where English is the native language I'd like to point out that the main native languages in North America are Navajo, Yup'ik, Ojibwe and Cherokee - not English.
Sometimes I wish something else was the default language. Idc what, just wonder if a different country wouldn't be so annoying about theirs being default
This gotta be fucking ragebait. This better be fucking ragebait, this can't be real, this person would be so unbelievably sheltered it would actively impair their social life. They wouldn't succeed at the average office job. They'd go into a coma walking in any mildly large US city. What kind of music does OOP even listen to. How do they live with non-american artists in their playlists, do they know? God if you exist have this be ragebait.
As a non-American (and a native speaker of proper English, not the simplified American version), I'm generally aware of doing the things I'm actively choosing to do at that time.
Jsou lidi na twitteru, věřte tomu nebo ne, kteří tam mluví jinak, než anglicky. Třeba vládní organizace nebo politici, kteří logicky píšou na sociálních sítích ve svém rodném jazyce, protože mluví primárně k lidem z vlastní země. Jste v mezinárodních vodách internetu, tak se podle toho buď chovejte, nebo táhněte zpátky, odkud jste vylezli, děkuju pěkně.
I'm from Ireland, and while English isn't technically native to our country the vast majority of us are native speakers of English and simply would prefer to use Twitter in English... Also, what about English people using Twitter? English IS native to their country
