MODERATORS
Note: this is just for your understanding, I'm not criticising you.
It's the little things, like using NJ as a short form assuming everyone to know. Hong Kong is arguably more well known globally, but you spelled it out.
The ones in the know often don't see the assumption.
This is true. I wonder how often people assume and don't think anything of it because it doesn't even register that they may not be correct.
That said, I once did have a long conversation here with someone who just straight-up refused to believe I'm not American and would not take my word for it. I never quite got why he believed I'd be lying about that, but that person would not be persuaded, and it was one of the most baffling interactions I've had in my life.
Eh that seems like a major stretch. NJ used above was prefaced with “somewhat niche US info”
I even replaced what the guy said which was Chris Christie with NJ gov because I hardly expected anyone abroad to know him
I feel like if we’re going to start thinking that someone’s putting the ass in assumption just because they used something others might not understand then we’re in trouble
You’d have to kill off any slang or expressions for fear that people might not understand them
