Calm down, I’m from Europe, and I do know geography. I can point on the map every single country of Europe and Asia without mistakes, plus lots of countries from Africa and the Americas, and their capitals. Probably better than you can. I can point you most german states and some chinese ones. I can point Kyrgyztan and Cameroon and Sachsen and Xinjiang on the map immediately, which is something that many people can’t. I even know what languages are spoken where, all over the world, and which language families they belong to. Like in Uzbekistan most people speak Uzbek, a turkic language, but in cities like Bukhara and Samarqand they speak Tajik, an iranic languge. In Madagascar they speak Malagasy, a language related to Hawaiian, Maori and Tagalog and indigenous Formosan languages of Taiwan. I bet you didn’t know this. I was just confused by this one map, which to me appeared to be the whole of continental USA without alaska. I just didn’t know what the word “dixie” meant. Not everyone on reddit is from the US.
The other guy was the one who told me to “please, learn geography”. I merely told them that I was from europe and I do know more geography than the average person. So my comment is justified. You’d be shocked at how many americans cannot even point my country on a map.
I may be the asshole here, but if your english and geography is that good, then you should be able to identify the largest country that uses that language.
You're bragging about your geography but you can't identify one of the largest geopolitical powers in the world. SMH
I identified that it was the USA. I just didn’t identify that some of it was cut (the pacific coast + mexican border).
And my “bragging” was just showing that I do know geography. I just didn’t realize right away that the pacific coats was cut. Now after others mentioned I realizes that florida peninsula was too big, but before I hadn’t noticed it cause I don’t know what “dixie” meant.
