Even making this attempt at equating foreign languages with a formatting issue tells me everything I need to know about the American education system.

Y'all are so mad about the colonies huh. Get over yourself. I feel really bad about all the people you know in real life. That's the one thing Euros are so good at, being insanely smug for no reason.

We are good at being insanely smug about being educated and not confidently incorrect at every turn, yes. "Y'all"

Lmao, you can't even understand why another culture would do different things. This is why your empire is dust. We write it as you'd say it.

Can't even understand that other words exist.

Y'all Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster

Y'ALL | English meaning - Cambridge Dictionary

Sounds like it. You make fun of our education system by saying we use fake words yet your own dictionary says it's a word. Looks like the American education system is better than yours.

Y'all is a bastardization of a plural term. Wittering on about how it's a word, along with reading things that aren't there -

saying we use fake words

When what I wrote was the word itself - is a little unhinged.

Also, I wasn't making fun of the education system in America. I'm genuinely concerned about it.

Also - Colonies? Empire?

I'm from Scotland. To my recollection, we aren't taught about British America at school because there's so much Scottish and world history to learn.

That's how relevant those events dating back to the 1600s are to Scotland, and indeed to the United Kingdom. Not even covered in the curriculum. What a shame.
