It auto corrected the word: Makes?

That makes no sense. 8>)

But let's put that to bed, he made that statement after reading the article, and I later learned he had watched the interview, so he obviously understands the language. Did you read the article?

Your other comment about some court case in 673, or whenever it was, made no sense either unless it was about Covid back then, which I sincerely doubt it did.

Maybe you thought you were responding to a different post? That has happened to me before.

I just used it as part of her credentials to point out that there was a life before America in Eastern Europe.

Many Americans (North Americans) have this superiority complex of "uber alles" against Eastern Europeans.

No, I am not kidding. Comes from the "Blue Blood" heritage, in my believes. Been living in Canada since '85, seen it way too many times in some parts of the country.

It does not bother me at all. You get used to it.

As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said in 1978 at Harvard

"Before my Harvard speech, I naively believed that I had found myself in a society where one can say what one thinks, without having to flatter that society.

It turns out that democracy expects to be flattered."

When I called out “Live not by lies!” in the Soviet Union, that was fair enough, but when I called out “Live not by lies!” in the United States, I was told to go take a hike.
