It is called Colombia, not Columbia.



Backstory

I live in Colombia in South America and people from other countries often spell "Columbia". Columbia and Colombia are two different places and people should open their mind and open out to the world.

It's Six-Words Memoirs, not Four-Word Memoirs. People should keep both their minds and eyes open. FYI, I do know the difference, as do most people on this site. I doubt that anyone here is any more interested in being indiscriminately lectured to than I am. Not a very cooperation-inspiring opener. I live in the United States in North America and people from other countries often think we're ignorant. People shouldn't assume.

I´m not saying EVERYONE does this mistake but many people often do. Please don´t get ofended, I´m not trying to blame anyone, just make a point and give my opinion.

L2L3 says,

Then don't come to a site that is clearly populated by predominantly U.S. citizens and speak in both a condescending and demanding voice to a reasonably well-educated group of said citizens. Defensiveness is the usual response to offensiveness. Frankly I don't understand what wohld motivate you to come here and start harping at people right from the start. Your point and opinion don't seem to have a context.

ibotero says,

i think im free to give my opnion even if im a minority.

L2L3 says,

Minority has nothing to do with it. Popping up here and starting out by bitching at people for no apparent reason makes little sense. Bitching and having an opinion are not always interchangeable.

ibotero says,

i´m not "bitching" anyone, you´re the one who took it badly
