In NYC at least you wouldn’t see a lot of American flags pre-9/11. After the attack there were flags everywhere immediately like everyone had a secret flag stash or something.

The flag represents justice, equality, and a drive for the common good. Also, we are allowed to display it instead of actually doing those things.

I saw Dropkick Murphys in early October 2001 and there were dozens of American flags covering every inch of that stage. Also a lot of neo-nazis and skinheads because they used to attract that crowd.

That's a thing that I found so incredibly weird during my hitherto only visit to the US (I went to Chicago) - American flags everywhere. Like, yo, I know I'm in the US and presumably the people who live there know that even better.

Yep, definitely did not use to think it was pronounced "hit-hurto". Nope, definitely didn't. That would've been the height of foolishness.

I definitely did not until the age of 22 believe that the verb "to misle" existed in the English language and had instead been misreading "misled" the entire time.

It took me until my twenties to figure out "subtle" and "segue" and that the words I thought were "suttle" and "segway" were actually the same as these other words I knew from reading.

My grade school has placards above the utility closet doors with "No. 1, 2 etc." and I couldn't figure out what it meant. Like no, only one person can be in here, or something. I asked my teacher and she explained and I got made fun of by other kids for the rest of the year. THERE IS NO O IN NUMBER gently caress YOU

There are a lot of holdovers in "proper" English grammar from a time when 18th century rear end in a top hat prescriptivists tried to enforce rules borrowed from Latin on a non-Romance language. Like, the whole thing about split infinitives - "to boldly go" vs "to go boldly" - is because it's actually impossible to do that in Latin because Latin infinitives are one word. The "rule" against ending a sentence with a preposition is the same way. In case you're still wondering, the Latin word for "number" is "numero" which got abbreviated as "No." by scribes, and that got carried over to English as well. There's actually a complete sign for it, "No" that most folks don't bother with nowadays, and "#" is more common in the US anyway.
