> Is North America offensive now or something?

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.

> I try not to be super US-centric on international forums.

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.
