@Nokyyn Having spent my fair bit of time on websites with 90% American commenters... Yes. This. So much this.
I would get lynched for using words I didn't even know had a negative connotation, for the slightest accidental misphrasing of "I mostly agree with you but you're taking it a bit to the extreme" to the point where participating and commenting there just wasn't fun anymore.
