I find that hard to believe, because what you are describing (and shrugging off) is such a profound and egregious example of cultural illiteracy - knowing the map of the world is fourth grade geography. Are you saying that most people posting On FR didn’t get through elementary school?

Look pal, I don't know what your major malfunction is and I don't really care. First of all I didn't say I didn't know where Brazil is nor was I intimating that anyone here didn't either. My life and daily routine isn't preoccupied with what any countries native language happens to be. I know there are some 58 countries that have English as their official/ and/or second language and we're not one of them. India is. "cultural illiteracy''? Did you know in Iran if you want to hail a taxi you don't stick out your thumb. Do you know why? I do. Every now and then someone like you turns up here and quickly becomes a right royal pain in the ass. Do me a favor and go bother someone else ok?
