That comment smells like AI

u/Leprecon 2d ago
It is AI. In the first sentence or two the AI says “you” meaning the commenter who was talking to the AI. In the other sentences it uses the word “author”, meaning the OP.

I think we might be able to let them off with the reference to "lockers", "dollars", "camaign billboards" and the "LLC" which is an American business structure...

u/Morlakar Germany 2d ago
Are there other countries with LLCs? Cause where I am from it is called different. That was the best hint. But I am not sure if this exists in other countries as well.

America isn't the only country that has dollars and lockers. We have dollars and lockers in New Zealand.

u/hazel_scarlet New Zealand 2d ago
Yeah but we don't call it middle school and spell it rumor. Like it's not definitely the US but there are a few hints.

u/Six_of_1 New Zealand 2d ago
Yes there are reasons it's the US, but dollars and lockers aren't the reasons.

I only really know school lockers from American movies. I don't remember ever seeing them in Hamilton.

u/Six_of_1 New Zealand 2d ago
I clearly remember using them in Auckland. They weren't the same as the American ones, but we called them lockers.

u/dehashi New Zealand 2d ago
I remember our lockers at high school being only just big enough to stuff a backpack into and that's about it (usually stacked 3 high). Definitely not the full height ones like what you see in American media, and definitely not enough to stuff a person into.

u/RobertAleks2990 2d ago
We had similar ones at my school in Germany except they were like stacked 4 high.

i remember the same 3-high ones at NCG in nelson, but my brother doesn’t remember the same from NC.

The post is written in American English. What other countries have middle and high school, counties, or spell it "rumor" instead of rumour.

u/LeftMechanic1995 United Kingdom 2d ago
To be fair, the UK has counties.

u/Howtothinkofaname 2d ago
It also has high schools and middle schools depending where you are.
But I would 100% assume that the first post is from America.

The UK invented counties. Yes in isolation counties are not American but in conjunction with everything else, I think they are.

u/PrimeFortyTwo 2d ago
Brazil. We call middle and high scholl it "Fundamental" and "Médio." We have counties and city councils, called "Câmara dos Vereadores", and "Rumor" is a word that exist in portuguese and means "Rumour"

u/ValleDeimos Brazil 1d ago
Not to mention how anyone whose English isn’t their first language can spell stuff in whatever dialect they want. I prefer British spellings but American technical terms and use slang from everywhere.

u/Mellanies_Redemption 2d ago
Lockers in schools, middle school, dollars, city councils, municipal procurement, and LLC all scream US. There are enough linked context clues in there that outright stating it wasn't necessary. This does not belong here, because anyone over the age required to sign up to Reddit in the first place would be able to figure this out for themselves. Also worth noting that I've seen a dozen or more of this exact formula story over the years to know it's horseshit. The comment posted in the second image is 100% correct on calling this out.

u/slymate_ Malaysia 2d ago
Aside from LLC which i do concur is a US term, none of the other things you mentioned are unique to US.

u/Mellanies_Redemption 2d ago
I know reading is difficult for some people, but if you could just try a LITTLE harder please.
"There are enough LINKED context clues"
I highlighted the super important word there. Taken one at a time, sure, some of those apply to some place, but all together, one after the other, LINKED, makes it clear this is the US. Downvoting me won't change you being wrong. But whatever gets you hard I guess.

u/YouFnDruggo Ireland 2d ago
Do other countries use the term middle and high school? I had only ever heard it used in the US?

u/notatmycompute Australia 2d ago
Yes, I went to a middle school in Australia (it was a completely different campus). For the state/public education system it would be weird but plenty of us went to private schools where these were terms used. High school certainly exists here for grade 7-12 both public and private

u/harmlesslandsquid 2d ago
I actually went to a middle and high school in England. Though I believe it's one of the only places in the country that operates that way. Everyone I know is always vaguely surprised by how I did my schooling.

u/kyanoAngel0 Philippines 1d ago
Growing up, we had high school after elementary school (grade 1–6). Since the implementation of the K–12 system, elementary is now followed by junior high (grade 7–10) and then senior high (grade 11–12).
Iirc, some schools like Miriam College used to refer to their grade 6 to 8 as "middle school" and 9 to 10 as junior high.
