No seriously, I was correcting the OP because his rant incorrectly labeled Elop as an American bastard.

Not North American bastard. Not Northern Hemisphere bastard. But American bastard... like the 50 states kind.

This is different seen from here... America is North America + Central America + South America. American bastard means bastard from America. US bastard means US bastard.

The North American market to me means Canada + USA. I consider these to be somewhat uniform. The European market is some 40+ countries. There's more differentiation here, so we're more used to not thinking in single country terms when we consider the tech market.

Also, if we hear European Bastard we don't mean to think we know what country he's from. US Americans so self centered, thinking that you're the only Americans who get to be American Bastards.
