I think you must have replied to the wrong message
or something, since the one you did reply to bears
no relationship with what you say here. It doesn't
say that "because it's an Americanims, it's de
facto wrong", it says "leave it in whatever language
the original author used". That may or may not be
a good idea, but it's certainly not "anti-american"
in any way, shape or form.


PS, can you not reply at the *bottom* of quoted
    bits? And snip irrelevant bits on your way
    down? It'd make things much more pleasant
    to read.
