Whenever you refer to your government as "the government", or your military as "the military", I want you to read a map...
Now take notice that there are OTHER countries on that map besides yours, some bigger than yours.
Now I want you to refer to your government as "the USA's government", and your military as "the USA's military".

If you're talking with US citizens and/or about the US, it makes sense to just say "the government." or "the military," e.g. "I heard the government just repealed Obamacare." When we're talking with foreigners and/or about different countries, I can see the point in your post. But quite frankly I think you just made this post to post your anti-American-patriotism rhetoric.

I personally don't think there should be any country borders, nevermind governments.

Can the following be implied?
A.Majority of ROBLOXians are American
B.Midmyst is in said majority.
C.The minority is simply a minority and special internist groups should be ignored.

While the question could apply to governments in general, I did have America's government in mind when I asked the question. So I apologize for not being specific. However, as rus said; most ROBLOXians are American so they probably knew what I meant.

Thanks sincerely for making this post. I agree completely.

There is a very significant amount of non-American Roblox users and it can be rather daunting seeing all the posts that simply imply all users are Americans.

In everyday conversation unless talking about other countries, supposing you live in the United States of America or are talking about their government, such would be assumed that you are reffering to their government. If you are on here, consider how the majority of Robloxians are American, consider how Midmyst is American, now let me ask you, why does it matter so much?

I can't tell what's worse, this discussion or the people who are throwing a hissy fit over the USA not using the metric system. I swear, these guys just dig miles to find something to criticize the United States about.

Look at U.S. linguistics. When referring to things on a nation-wide scale we tend to Shorten with the word "The [insert noun here]". Why? Because, going out of your way to refer to the Minnesota Vikings or United States Marine Corp is unnecessarily long when everybody else around you knows "The Marine Corp" is referring to the National One. The sentence doesn't imply there is only one Marine Corp. Instead since we Americans use it on a nationwide scale it implies that it is: The (United States) Marine Corp. To back up what I am saying I will give you an example. We refer to the British Government as The British Government. Why not just shorten it to The Government? Because, this is speaking on international terms instead of just nationwide.

Basically what I am saying is stop being so butt hurt about America and the way we speak. Because, if I wanted to I could sit down and prove that the use of the term maths is incorrect. But I don't because, I recognize that they still refer to the same thing and that it is pointless to try and force people to talk a certain way when what they're referring to is obvious.
