It’s really unnerving to see that some Americans assume everyone on here is American.

The site was constructed in England I believe, which is why I use it, to improve my English, but I think it is dominated by Americans. If you’re not American here, give me a shout!

Is unnerving really the correct word?

@AdmiralPrune Are you a grammar critic?

AdmiralPrune · 41-45, M

@Ximenajacoba No. I was wondering if you being confused for an American really frightens you?

Sure you mean confused or frustrated.

@AdmiralPrune I am not American nor am I British! I am a Sicilian

@Ximenajacoba I never said you were.

But what was the answer to my question?

Strictmichael75 · 61-69, M

@AdmiralPrune American is a simplified form of English

AdmiralPrune · 41-45, M

@Strictmichael75 I agree. But it’s not what I asked her.

Why would someone incorrectly guessing your nationality be unnerving?

I’m guessing this is sensationalisation.

Strictmichael75 · 61-69, M

@AdmiralPrune she never said that
She simply made a remark saying the site seems to be dominated by Americans
Nothing else

@Strictmichael75 It’s the title of the post

It’s really unnerving to see that some Americans assume everyone on here is American.

It’s right up there in big bold letters.
