i haven’t had much experience with French people, the only French person I’ve ever met was actually a pretty kind person. I’m aware this story very, very likely fabricated

    Wrong “gas”? Most Americans don’t know what gas is. They really have no clue that gas stands for gasoline and it’s a different petroleum product that diesel. The other day I saw someone arguing with another person for saying “Oxygen is a gas”. The American kept saying, “No, oxygen is what we breathe. Gas is what we fill in our car.”

      I’m confused. Americans are the only ones that do say “gasoline”/“gas”. For the rest of us, it’s petrol.
