Re: We are all Americans! (WAS: Re: So, You Want To Make Text Art?)

Where do you get this quaint idea that "American" and "English"
should be synonymous?

The W in WWW means "world" as in "world", not "world" as in
"world (sic) series", and the WWW is as much European as it is
American.

I've lurked on aaa for many months (of course I'm only making
an educated guess, but so are you) and I reckon that as much as
40% of the posters are non-American.
