It's not "hard to understand", I was just interested in your reasons because I thought it was curious. I still don't agree that it's a big deal - I also consume mostly English-language media and most of my communication online is in English but I'm still typing this on my Handybildschirm. But you do you.

OK Boomer.

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
