Reply to comment by buttpincher in Ericsson to lay off 8,500 employees by mitousa

I like how people from other countries will default to saying, “in my country” or “in ______.” But Americans are in THE country.

I see what you mean however Ericsson is the number 1 supplier of RAN equipment throughout the world. I should have specified I was speaking of the US.

Yep. As Americans do. Instead of talking on a forum that is international in a way that acknowledges country (yes I know Reddit is 50% USA), Americans always default to always assuming the rest of the world knows what someone means when they reference home, their country, or their state.

Y’all think you’re the world.

A non-American using Y'all is funny. But I agree. Americans think they're the main character even in the World News forums lol.
