Thanks to Facebook, we get to meet people from faraway lands, like Canada, and even farther away places like other countries. Canada is part of the US right? There is no way that qualifies as a legitimate country.
But, Maple Leaf bashing aside, you do meet people from other countries. However, this isn’t always necessarily a good thing. When you start getting comments on things you say that look like this:
Haha, you fill me up with very much a sense of joy at the things that you speak of!
Things….get weird. Broken English typed up on the Internet is like watching that scene from The Empire Strikes Back where Leia kisses Luke. You feel uncomfortable because you know it’s wrong, but the participants have no idea and there’s nothing you can do to let them in on the shame. And it gets even weirder when they start commenting in their native Portugreek or whatever foreign tongue they speak that isn’t American, and you have to utilize a translator to understand what they’re saying, which of course does it badly and you wind up with MORE broken English, and……well, let’s just say you won’t be looking him up if you ever make a trip to Mongolia.
