    Sorry, off topic but your comment about the Japanese phone getting reminded me of when I worked at an English school too.

    My coworker, who is 100% Japanese, was just off her game that day and instead of “お電話ありがとうございます〇〇です” she greeted a random caller with “おめでとうございます〇〇です” lol

    It was really cute. She of course committed sudoku in shame soon after.

    It’s so weird because I NEVER have this issue in France. I grew up in Ottawa, went to French immersion in public school (therefore far from native speaker level), haven’t even lived in Canada for over 15 years now but the last two times I visited France they were just happy to me in French. There was just one time a baker offered to take my order in English and I asked if I could practice my French and he gladly obliged.

    I dunno. Are they maybe way more lenient when dealing with Asians?

    Are you saying the Constitution wasn’t originally written in a way that it afforded the US government such powers?

    Because, first of all, we know how young your country is. Second, kings and queens surely pardoned people all the time, no?
