This house only gives scrambled egg, no cheese!?!?

I can definitely relate to this. The friends that make you laugh are the ones who care the most.

Glad you mentioned endonym/exonym are you be any chance a linguist or do you study/have you studied linguistics?

This is the correct answer. But I agree with the part it is unfortunate that they didn’t respect and America doesn’t respect enough to say España or ‘la France’ hopefully I am spelling that right.

Best with a side of VPN.

I agree with the first part, but the second while I also agree, my comment wasn’t a “stupid question” that would apply to this benefit. It was simply an observation with a false premise and an opinion expressed as a lame joke I made. I expected it to go south but it went well.

What I was asking was not why this phenomenon can be a good thing but why it would get nearly an exponentially larger amount of likes/upvotes than other posts and not downvotes instead. If they disagreed or were correcting/criticizing me, wouldn’t it follow for the comment to be down voted? I know some people view down ones as agree/disagree or like/dislike, or whether it fits the community, but logically it would seem since they expressed they didn’t like why I said in the comments, they or other readers would have downvoted me.

Unless people just wanted to bring it to everyone else’s attention, idk . The entire comment in question was a faux pas that I left unchecked and then somehow a success. Don’t really care about the “points” but it just sparked my curiosity why all of a sudden, compared to other countless times that I make similar comments, that this one was an outlier.
