Where do YOU come from?

[Flâneur]

Something I've noticed is that this forum seems a little more global than the X-forums, for example, which is mainly Americans with small Canadian and British contingents. So I was wondering, where do you guys all come from? How much more/less global is the Wonder Woman fan base that posts here?

ACK! No no no... LOL I didn't mean that. I meant meeting posters for platonic friends... I don't know people locally who are into comics.

Flâneur.. wow, you're going to get me in trouble with my partner, and I didn't do anything! Wait, he doesn't read these boards since he doesn't like comics.

I live in Oakville and have a slightly amusing story for you, Ship.

On the night of November 30th, I was looking at the tv listings channel, which of course also has a news ticker. This was around 10 pm or 10:30. One of the items on the ticker said that if it didn't snow today, it would be the first November in which there had been no snow here in over 70 years.

I thought "Well, they must have put that on the ticker earlier in the day and just not bothered to take it down, because what are the chances that it's going to snow between now and midnight?"

And as it turned out, it didn't snow.

At 2 am I was still awake, and happened to look out the window.

A good deal of snow, falling and sticking to the ground. JUST past the deadline. :tongue: It was gone by the next day, but it was indisputably snow.

Mother Nature likes to screw with our heads, methinks.

Well, look on the bright side. You got a martini out of it. :wink:

But I am sorry, and now that I've gone back and seen your response I'll ease up if not outright stop. Already changed an f-word to an h-word in one of my posts.

Thanks for the compliment as well.

Heh. I'm not prudish by any means, truuuuust me. Let's just use those words sporadically... for emphasis perhaps.

And, you're welcome. Another martini needed... ah, the weekend...

It's referred to differently if you are Nederlands. The singular ('Nederland') is used while Anglophones use 'the Netherlands'.

[3D Master]

There is only one of them, and I refuse to use "Netherlands".

The Seven Republics of the United Netherlands has been dead and buried for two centuries now. It's Netherland.

The English speaking crowd seriously need to get with the times.

Ah, I didn't know that. But now I do. I'm sorry for my earlier ignorance, and I wasn't trying to make fun of what I saw as your ignorance; I just thought that it was a typo, that you'd left out the S by accident.

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Whoopsie!

But that is kinda hard to do for me.
"Were are you from" in my case can mean "where were you born" (Mozambique) or "where do you live" (Portugal).

What do you identify as, then? An African living in Europe or a European who happens to have been born in Africa?

And what does your accent sound like? (for curiosity) I've never heard the accents of anyone from either of the countries you're linked to.
