It's stunning how many people seem to forget that there are other countries on the planet that use dollars and weren't involved in Vietnam. No, I'm not making an assumption. The person who posted this is Canadian.
Y'all really need to take a step back and reflect a little bit.
They left out the part about getting drafted and sent to Vietnam with that 3rd grade education and risk dying for people that didn't care about you and other that hated you. Then coming home and getting spit on, literally spit on, by the people around you. And no one caring about the damage war caused you.
Which all would be lovely and true if they were American.
They're not.
It's almost like countries other than the United States exist...
I know it SAYS they live in Toronto, but they also said "Third Grade" and not "Grade Three", as would be proper in Canada. Maybe it's possible they are from the U.S. and currently live in Canada?
It's almost like sometimes people move...
Are those phrases not interchangeable in Canada?
Saying "# grade" might be more common where I am in the US, but no one would bat an eye if you said "grade #" because that is used commonly enough as well that people are used to it.
They completely are. I have no idea what they're talking about...
I also don't know. That's why it was phrased as a question. I'm not from where you are from. I come from a different country. I asked you a question about a possibility based on my knowledge, and you just tried to gotcha me. What does that do for you? Make you feel superior?
Is that seriously your evidence? That he said third grade? Like I and a shitload of other Canadians say?
Girl.
I'm literally just asking questions. I'm not presenting any evidence, I'm not even really making an argument. I'm just devils advocating your spamming that OP is Canadian just because they live in Toronto. As if everybody who lives in Toronto is Canadian.
Some Canadians live in the U.S. too. There are even people who come from both countries. There are people that have multigenerational history in both countries.
Canadian and American culture are inextricably linked. Being mad at my country doesn't change that, and that kind of arrogance will only doom you to repeat our failures.
