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 ā€œgasā€? 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 ā€œOxygen is a gasā€. The American kept saying, ā€œNo, oxygen is what we breathe. Gas is what we fill in our car.ā€

      I’m confused. Americans are the only ones that do say ā€œgasolineā€/ā€œgasā€. For the rest of us, it’s petrol.
