Then say michigan or america. You may be "in michigan" but are you "from michigan". Why would you say north america unless you have ties to canada.

I have literally 0 reason to answer this, it has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation, but to placate whatever weird obsession you have, yes. I was born in Michigan.

>Why would you say north america unless you have ties to canada.

Why do you care? Is North America offensive now or something?

I said "North America" because, for the purposes of this specific conversation, it doesn't matter at all. Except to you, apparently. For some unknown reason.

I try not to be super US-centric on international forums. First time someone's ever started questioning me about it, though.

North america encompasses the US, Canada AND MEXICO. Not sure what the age range for "teen" is in canada. If you are not canadian, why are you speaking for canadians. Don't think they even use "teen" in mexico as they speak spanish in mexico.

HN is an american forum. You can be US-centric if you want. I give you permission.

		This has to be one of the most meaningless, pedantic, strangest string of comments I've had the misfortune of participating in. I cannot possibly muster up enough energy to care about this anywhere near as much as you do. Good luck, fellow North American.
