Meta deletes Al Jazeera presenter’s profile after show criticising Israel

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Yeah... I learned Spanish in Mexico as a wee lad, the folk living North of there were called "Gringos" or "Yankees". Back in Europe, behind the iron curtain, it was "Americaniard" or "Yank", rarely "American"... even when people meant no disrespect.
Then in Spain... (@PRUSSIA_x86@lemmy.world, you may want to see this)... "American" refers to any citizen of the whole continent... even the official dictionary itself, in it's latest update, actually states:

So yeah, kind of like nicknames... but then some places have different rules about the nicknames. 😉
(...and then there are the actually vulgar despective nicknames, which I won't get into here)
Oh that's cool to hear about. Neat!
