YOu really like that ‘broad brush’ description.
I’ve lived in the US most of my life and have never met anyone ‘from’ here that spelled ‘flu’, ‘flue’.
Not one.
I have seen a LOT of foreigners spell it that way though.
Which immediately causes me to question an ‘American’ posting on this forum who spells it ‘flue’.
There are a LOT of program posters on social media.
It’s to the Chicom benefit if the general population in the US underestimates this. I’d fully expect them to ‘release the hounds’ of flubros to do so.
A Flue is something in a chimney.
I will work Japanese and other Asians on a weekly basis.
I’ve seen very few spell flu as flue.
You made a broad brush statement.
That happens on FR sometimes. I do it.
But expect to be challenged (politely) if you (or I) do.
Flu = illness
Flue = part of a fireplace
