It's why you hire someone else to do it, like a network consultancy.

Those are rookie numbers!

Yep.

But I admit I'm one of them, though I also recognize it's not an easy thing to do well. Whenever something like this comes up for a vote in my area, it really takes me a while to figure out the pros/cons, long-term implications, who benefits, etc.

I think it's one of those "technically" things, that isn't useful.

Someone from The Americas is American, technically. That's how language works.

But I'd venture* that 97.3% of people mean United States when they say "Americans", or better, it's what people mean 97.3% of the time. The only time I've seen people bring it up is when they're from a South American country.

So I'd say context and scale of detail/granularity influence the meaning in the moment.

Los Angeles is not in North America

I don't see a problem with that.

Plus, by tectonic plates, isn't it America, since N/C/S America are on the same plate, right? (I don't trust my memory of school from decades ago).

That was ~~80~~ 60 years ago.

The knowledge required to design ignition systems is from the thousands of people who've gone through, or are currently in, universities.

Plus, the physics, and challenges, haven't changed.

It's a different game now.

You'd think this would be a basic usability thing. Just use colors that aren't a concern for colorblind folks. It's not hard.

Well, they're in South America

My grandmother said the same when I showed her a Motorola Droid in 2009. She said "that's a pocket computer".
