it depends. Those foreign to the US are likely to say “yanks” to mean all Americans, but Americans may find it slightly odd to refer to Southerners as Yankees.

In the same way as calling a Catholic from Belfast “British” - it’s true but it could feel a little awkward.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
